Title Best
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.

  • English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
  • English dts audio.
  • Feature commentary by Roman Polanski (Director) and Catherine Deneuve (Actor).
  • Retrospective featurette - A British Horror Film (23:46).
  • Professor Richard L. Gregory interview Eye and Brain (11:00).
  • DVD-9 dual-layered formatting.
  • Production design gallery.
  • Photo gallery.
  • Biographies.

    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.
