OVERALL: Draw
The US release has its own exclusive extras.
The identical UK and German releases have differing exclusive extras. The French has exclusive extras although they are not English-friendly and the Italian track is lossy (it was an Italian/French co-production so the dubbed French track is as legitimate as the post-dubbed Italian).
The film exists in two versions:
(1.) The original premiere version from the 1957 Cannes Film Festival that had the seven-minute "man with a sack" sequence; Fellini's director's cut (118 minutes).
(2.) The original theatrical version that had the "man with a sack" sequence removed after the premiere (111 minutes). -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray A Essential Fellini America- Criterion Collection - No cuts - original version with extra logos (118:33).
- Blu-ray A Japan- Kadokawa - No cuts - original version with extra logos (120:03).
- Blu-ray B France- Tamasa - No cuts
- Blu-ray B Germany- Arthaus - No cuts - original version (118:12).
- Blu-ray B United Kingdom- Studio Canal - No cuts - original version (118:12).
