fabulous In its extended
version -where the characters are fully developed and the relationships
between them fully explored- this movie is incredible. Not just because
Oleg Menshikov is a fabulous actor and Julia Ormond does some of the
best acting I've seen her do, but because the plot is interesting and
well written and the filming is beautiful.
In the butchered and
censored short version crucial elements of the story are missing
(especially the complete dialogues between Andrei and Jane and the
majority of their scene in bed) and the movie is OK but nothing special.
Why
would the studio even release such a lame version? Can you imagine a
two hour version of Gone with the Wind? Or a 90 minute version of
Titanic?
I saw the full 4 and ½ hours extended film in a cinema
and no one walked out because it was too long. I saw the short version
on the Cosmo channel and I really don't understand why the producers
would stab themselves in the back by releasing a watered down and
lacking version –presumably for audiences with short attention spans?-
but I recommend avoiding the 3 hours one and holding out for the real
film.
