I've seen the longer version so many times now that for me to even attempt to watch the shorter version would be a disaster. Originally in 1988, director Giuseppe Tornatore had released a 155-minute cut that flopped hard on release in Italy, both critically and commercially, before 22 minutes were shorn from it to make it into a stone-cold classic on the international circuitan early example of Harvey Weinsteins snip-happy impulses working to the (gasp!) benefit of a film. "Lontano" by Gyrgy Ligeti, Ernest Bour conducting the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra (Wergo Records) "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta" by Bla Bartk, Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (Deutsche Grammophon) "Utrenja" excerpts from the "Ewangelia" and "Kanon Paschy" movements by Krzysztof Penderecki, Andrzej Markowski conducting the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra (Polskie Nagrania Records) "The Awakening of Jacob", "De Natura Sonoris No. 2' To Have A Female VillainDirector Debuts: The 20 Best First Films of the Last 20 YearsThe 25 Most Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2016The 25 Best Horror Films Of The 21st Century So FarReview: 'Warcraft' Is The 'Battlefield Earth' Of The 21st CenturyPodcasts Screen Talk: How Will the Cannes Film Festival Impact the Rest of the Year in Film? Eric Kohn and Anne Thompson discuss the surprises and snubs from this year's Cannes. REELVIEWS.com. Now she has read hhis "great american novel" and he is coming toward her as a complete madman. 2) Gladiator I can't even remember the theatrical cut since I only own the extended one! 3) Donnie Darko Haven't seen the director's cut but any version of that film sounds intriguing.
Thankfully Kubrick didn't burn everything after the international cut like has happened to too many films. Made For Gaming. p.115. Today our sampler is of ten titles from the more classic end of the spectrum, the stories behind their reissues, the changes made and, of course, which is superior. My guess is that the film was cut simply for length to make it shorter and get more screenings per day. What I think is most important to discsuss is: 1. The director's cut is a masterpiecein my opinion the greatest gangster movie ever made (even better than The Godfather).
