OVERALL: Draw

For the theatrical version, the Criterion edition has the best extras. However, note Australian/French/UK/Italian editions have an exclusive featurette (but the French edition isn't English friendly, the Italian release isn't English friendly on the extras, the Australian has burnt-in subtitles and the UK release has forced subtitles).

For the extended version, it appears this is only available in Germany, and only there in a 'Paolo Sorrentino' film box set with "This Is the Place", "Youth" and "Il divo". Unfortunately, this release is not English-friendly.

There are also theatrical version releases in:
- Brazil by Paramount
- Germany by DCM / EuroVideo
- Spain by Cameo
