OVERALL: Draw
For the theatrical version, the Criterion edition has the best extras. Note that the Italian Special Edition and UK release have a different featurette, but the extras are not English-friendly on the Italian set and the subtitles are forced on the UK set.
For the extended version, the Italian Versione Integrale is the only release we have confirmed specs for. It appears to also have been released in Germany, but only there in a 'Paolo Sorrentino' film box set with "This Is the Place", "Youth" and "Il divo".
The theatrical version has also been released in:
- Australia by Madman
- Brazil by Paramount
- France by Pathé
- Germany by Universum Film
- Spain by Cameo -
