OVERALL: R2
The BFI release, for the abundance of contextual material, including two shorts by Dreyer and a 90 minute documentary about Dreyer's work. However, please note that the Australian DVD replaces the documentary about Dreyer with a different featurette about the director (from 1966) and includes a different short film by Dreyer. The US release also features 2 exclusive extras.
If you have the specs for the Danish DVD release of this film, please let us know via our forums.
The difference in running times appears to be due to the speed at which the film is shown.
