Why did the Austrian version get the Criterion release, when the American version has a better cast, and better performances almost across the board?

michael pitt is the best actor living right now and people don't even realize it
Christopher Garcia
I think the first one works far better because the harsh german language sounds far more fitting for the narrative, making the two men legitimately feel like sadistic psychos instead of mere edgy teens.
Also Ulrich Muhe played the role better than Roth

Not sure if I’ve seen him in anything else, but he was flat out amazing in Funny Games. I’d already seen the original, and knew the remake used the same script and everything, but Pitt managed to make that character off-putting and surreal in ways that the original actor just couldn’t. The rest of the American cast is great, but Pitt alone makes the remake completely worth watching.

Why not put both films on the same disc? It's the exact same film and there are no legal reasons not to.
