OVERALL: Draw

- R1 Criterion offers the full producer's cut in its original 1.66:1 aspect ratio, with many extras. The scenes removed from the theatrical cut are offered as deleted scenes and the most extras including a commentary.
- R2 France offers both cuts in their original 1.66:1 aspect ratio, also with several extras, but it is not an English friendly release. Also note that you will have to use your remote during the film to manually insert the theatrical version scenes.

The following versions of the film are known to exist:
- The original Theatrical cut running for about 108min.
- The director-approved Producer's cut running for about 102min.
- The US NC-17 version, in which a scene where a small boy has his penis pulled as punishment for misbehaving (~0:55) has been removed. It is thus a cut version. This scene has been kept but optically censored on other editions.
