The R2 version is out on 6th August with a director`s commentary, deleted scenes, Tappy Tippons` Life Story, `Making Of`. `Memories, Dreams & Addictions` - Interviews with Ellen Burstyn, Anatomy Of A Scene and the usual trailer/tv-spots. Its in DD 5.1 too, no word about its aspect ratio though.

One reason to wait for the R2 version is that you won`t run the risk of getting the cut version which got the R rating in the States, oh and the R2 cover is a *lot* nicer, which sells it for me!

`memories dreams & addictions` is actually a 20min interview with Hubert Selby Jr, the writer of the novel Requiem for a Dream. The interview is conducted by Ellen Burstyn - she`s actually not interviewed herself. You also get to see extended footage of Hubert Selby Jr`s cameos in the film in the deleted scenes. A brilliant, yet very strange, man.

And as for the film... full on ECT and dildo action, uncut. (how many peoples ears pricked up during that last sentence, i wonder....)
