Under the Sand (Sous le Sable) (Directors Suite) | R1 |
As previously mentioned, this Director's Suite release supersedes the earlier Madman 2003 edition of the film. The text filmographies, which were on the last edition, have been omitted this time. I will compare this new Madman edition with the region free, US version released by Fox/Lorber - Winstar in December 2001.The US edition features the same, "Interview with Charlotte Rampling and Bruno Cremer" and theatrical trailer. However, it also features the addition of the filmographies, an audio commentary with François Ozon , a French Dolby Digital 5.1 audio mix and the addition of Spanish subtitles. The US version also claims a 16x9 enhanced transfer in the correct aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Although the local version is up to scratch transfer wise, the inclusion of the director's audio commentary tips the scales in favour of the US edition. |
