Which version is better to view? Which tells the story best?

I am very much wanting to view this film but some things I've read say the Italian version is very jumpy and doesn't make much sense. But that the English version is a cut down version which spells some things out but takes out many pivotal moments....

which better to watch? Which lets the full story be told without messing with anything, I'm a fan of foreign films and wouldn't mind watching the Italian version only if it is the best of two which tells the story....!
