Comments

It appears as though both editions are exact. The Artificial Eye is a licensed port of the MK2 and has the same degree of sharpness, original audio, subtitle options, extra features and the same menus, except the AE are in English.

The only real difference (albeit minute) that we could find are that in the subtitles, where the Mk2 appears a few frames later than on Artificial Eye. Note the difference between them in Image #1. Both before Michel points and after his finger is out of the image, the Artificial Eye has no subtitles on in that specific scene.

The extras are the same and begins with an interview of Bresson from French TV (Cinépanorama 1960) where Bressons answers questions towards his techniques and the film itself. Following this comes three interviews with the three main actors, recorded in 2003, then a Q&A from 2000 with Ameris, Green and director Paul Vecchiali, and finally a demonstration of pickpocketing by Kassagi from the TV-show "La Piste aux Ètoiles" from 1962. Simply superb additional material.
