The US release was just released by Cinedigm, the UK release has been out since November, yet I can't find a single review. According to the Dogwoof site it contains:

Theatrical and Directors Cut versions of the film
Directors Cut with commentary from Joshua Oppenheimer and Werner Herzog
Errol Morris' essay on the film
Interview with Werner Herzog and Errol Morris
Deleted scenes
And exclusive to the Blu-ray: A Master Class with Joshua Oppenheimer & Penny Woolcock.

Looks like it mostly has the same extras, but the Master Class is not on the US release. Anyone know how the UK release is? 2 discs? 1 disc? master audio? specs?

my copy was shipped yesterday. ! took them a week to ship it, so im not sure if it was really avaible in the UK...

i will post pictures and everything if no one else is faster

its only 1 disc, there is a 3 page booklet inside the case. and its a 11mm case and no 14mm(UK) case.
here is the back of the cover with the extras etc.:

Got this a few weeks back in Dogwoof's 2 for 1 on BD's. Incredible documentary. Only watched the director's cut, but couldn't recommend it enough.

How long is the masterclass extra? And is the audio lossless or lossy?

For audio, choice of Stereo 2.0 or Dolby Digital 5.1. The Masterclass is 1 hour 32 minutes.

This looks very interesting.

Just dolby digital huh, that's a little disappointing. But the masterclass featurette being feature-length is tempting.

I received my copy today. Some notes, from peeking at the disc:

This is a Region B LOCKED disc. Both cuts of the film and all of the extras are presented as 50Hz content, mostly in 1080/50i resolution, although the masterclass is presented in 720/50p resolution.

The two cuts of the film have been encoded separately. Both cuts have either lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby Digital 2.0 audio options only. There are burned-in English subtitles for the non-English dialogue.

BDInfo scan:

Director's Cut

The second Dolby Digital 2.0 track is the audio commentary.

Was the film shot in 25 FPS or is that just the encode?

manicsounds Blu-ray Samurai Top contributor Member since:Oct 2009 Location:Tokyo 4K collection:227 Blu-ray collection:4991 Blu-ray reviews: 99	The Act Of Killing (2012) http://dogwoof.com/films/the-act-of-killing https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-A...-Blu-ray/78859 The US release was just released by Cinedigm, the UK release has been out since November, yet I can't find a single review. According to the Dogwoof site it contains: Theatrical and Directors Cut versions of the film Directors Cut with commentary from Joshua Oppenheimer and Werner Herzog Errol Morris' essay on the film Interview with Werner Herzog and Errol Morris Deleted scenes And exclusive to the Blu-ray: A Master Class with Joshua Oppenheimer & Penny Woolcock. Looks like it mostly has the same extras, but the Master Class is not on the US release. Anyone know how the UK release is? 2 discs? 1 disc? master audio? specs?
