Notes:Coded Regions 2 & 8.
Roger Willemsen interview is in German, with no subtitles.
Deleted scenes have optional German subtitles.
Includes a booklet.
Menu screens are in German.
The English soundtrack contains a relatively small amount of dialogue in other languages, for which only German subtitles are available. One important scene which occurs early in Part 1 - "Claire's" first encounter with the two bank robbers - is entirely in French. However, it is recapped soon after in an English-speaking scene. The other non-English dialogue does not seem to be essential to the plot.
German title: "Bis and Ende der Welt - Director's Cut". -
