OVERALL: Draw
Between the R1 and the French R2 (GCTHV).
R1 has the original version and audio commentary, but the French version has the original version with English subtitles.
There are significant differences between the French (and Spanish) version and the English dub. The French one being the most complete, containing at least one scene that was trimmed from the English version. The most significant deletion is of a scene that occurs after René picks up O after her first round of training. In the movie, the next scene shows O at work (she is a fashion photographer). But in the French version on this disc, we seen him take O back to his apartment, where he criticizes the purity of her training and then later calls her with orders to undress and kneel while waiting for him.
GENERAL NOTES:
The OAR is 1.66:1. -
