Repulsion (MRA Ent) | R2E |
The Region 1 release - actually coded for all Regions - is a bare-boned, Pan & Scan abomination that barely deserves a mention here. Repulsion was released both individually and as part of a boxed set by Anchor Bay in Region 2 with the following additional extras.
The Region 2 box contains the same three feature films as the Region 4 set and a fourth bonus disc of eight short films from varying points in Polanski's career. A comprehensive glossy booklet is also included in the set, featuring an essay on each film. The Region 2 video transfer of Repulsion has an average video bitrate of 6.6Mb/s. As I mentioned earlier, the Region 4 transfer has a lower average of 5.3Mb/s, allowing it to be slapped onto a single-layered disc. Note that the Region 2 release also does not contain English subtitles. The Region 2 Anchor Bay box set is clearly the best option for those who want to make the purchase. |
