Region 4 Winners and Losers

     Unlike the Region B Australian release, the Region B United Kingdom Blu-ray features an 111 minute documentary on the film featuring interviews with most of the principal cast and crew, and the adaptation from the source novel on the production of the film. Apparently, this documentary is outstanding and is not to be missed if you are a fan of David Cronenberg's work. There is also a 27 minute interview feature with Cronenberg, producer Paulo Branco, producer Martin Katz, Robert Pattinson, Sarah Gadon, Kevin Durand, Jay Baruchel, Juliette Binoche, Emily Hampshire, Samantha Morton, K'Naan, Mathieu Almaric, and Paul Giamatti.

     The Region A United States Blu-ray release includes the two extras found on the United Kingdom release and also includes an audio commentary by David Cronenberg where he mentions the claustrophobic feel of the film was inspired by the films Das Boot and Lebanon.

    If you have a Region free Blu-ray player, the Region A US release is the one to go for.
