All the dreams you've ever had - and not just the good ones...Director: Terry Gilliam
OVERALL: Draw-

The French release has additional extra features (though the text parts are more than likely in French). If this bothers you, get the R2 UK 25th AE release (which also includes a DTS track).
The R0 SE from Anchor Bay and the German R2 also have unique extra features and R1 Image Entertainment includes an exclusive interview but the transfer for the Image release is a PAL-NTSC conversion.
Lastly, the R1 Criterion Remastered Reissue features a 2K transfer and exclusive extras, but sound is (original) Stereo only.
A R2 UK release from Arrow is also available.
