On my German Video back-cover of DRY WHITE SEASON was a picture of Brando, witch shows him wrestling with two officers in the court-room. But this scene doesent appear in the movie. I read somewhere, that Euzan Palcy (the director), was forced to recut the film. Does anybody knows something about lost Brando-Scenes in the movie?
shareShe did indeed cut this scene, for a reason she explains it clearly in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4A6Fc-DqxVo
shareHallo.
Many thanks for that link.
I think, from director Palcy`s point of view, it was (dramaturicly), right to cut this scene.
But Iam shure that it has to be a great scene (and Marlon seems to love it too), so I would love to see it.
Its a shame, that the scene doesent appear as an extra on the DVD of the movie (witch sadly doesent have any extras at all, like many Warner DVD-Releases).
Best whishes,

Palcy is the first woman of African descent to ever direct a Hollywood Studio movie MGM's ‘A Dry White Season’ starring Donald Sutherland, Marlon Brando, Susan Sarandon, Janet Suzman, Zakes Mokae and Jurgen Prochnow and produced by Paula Weinstein (Academy Award nominated ‘Blood Diamond’ starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou).

Palcy just wrapped “The Wives of Bourbon Island” a film shot in France and Reunion Island, Indian Ocean. “The Wives of Bourbon Island” is set in the 18th Century, when young women were sent to the colonies as potential wives to lonely settlers. Euzhan is currently prepping two new motion pictures in Los Angeles, “Midnight’s Last ride” produced by Leslie Rowan with Sam Shepard, and Ellen Burstyn and “Filet Mignon” her first comedy.
The evening is hosted by Stany Coppet of Lumières Noires in association with Hollywood Shorts and Steven Adams Entertainment. The Screening is sponsored by the Fine Arts Theater, Michael S. Hall and the Screening Services Group.
Apparently Brando featured a lot more in the film than was seen in the final cut, and he complained in promotional interviews at the time that the film's effect had been diluted due to a lot of his scenes having been cut.
sharei read somewhere that about 30 minutes of brandos material had to be cut because it was the only way they could stick to the allowed run time for the movie, while still maintaining that the story made sense. they should release these lost scenes in a special blu ray or dvd edition.
