OVERALL: Draw
The UK release for the correct aspect ratio, and Director interview or the French release for the extras (although they are not English-friendly) and the HD-to-SD master has transfer issues.
Although, note that the US and Italian releases have audio up-mixes.
GENERAL NOTES:
The film was mixed in mono. All 5.1 and stereo tracks derive from either the remix carried out by Cecchi Gori Home Video for the DTS/Dolby Digital 5.1 DVD release or Chace Surround for the Anchor Bay DVD. -
