I'm well aware of the differences in version, but perplexed
on availability. I wanted to get the DVD of the recut, but
it's only available in zone 1 (US). I finally got my hands on
a VHS of the original, but I believe those of my students
participating in the
"Lyc饮s au Cin魡" project will be seeing the recut.
From the descriptions of the recut I've read, the overall
impression left by the film won't be that much different, but
I'll have to wait until I can see it to really judge.
FWIW, I really hate all this nonsense about DVD zones. For
those of us outside the US, it's a real boon to be able to
get films and see them in English, but when it comes to old
classics or other low-volume distribution items, it's going
to be quite a wait.
