An lovely film, full of tropical beauty and simmering sensuality.
(Some odd colour casts in places.)
The Fox DVD appears to have massive cuts: 119 minutes against the 137-142 of the film version. My wife, who has seen the version available in Colombia, reports the missing scenes as being very evident, and some significant -- amongst them, an opening scene of children pregnant due to rape by soldiers.
Shame on you Fox.
I noticed Greencine's rental was labeled 137 minutes and viewing time was only about 120 minutes.
I cannot find out where the jungle scenes were actually finlmed.
I didn't know about it. I saw the film on TV some years ago. It was the complete version (I guess).
I haven't seen it on DVD here on my neck of the woods. I'd like to rent it or even to buy it in order to watch it again because "Pantaleón y las visitadoras" is my favorite work by Mario Vargas Llosa, and because that "colombiana" was pure fire!!!
The full length version is available on Netflix Watch Instantly.
Highly recommended.
Well, I buy this movie a few days ago and the lenght is 2 hours and 55 minutes, release by Dreamworks pictures in 2003 - PG 13 - color - Dolby surround 2.4 . Hope this will help. I bought it in Caracas, Venezuela at the Central University in the capital. Great comedy movie with subtitles in french and also in english.
shareI think you mean 1.55
There is a full lengh version on a website and it runs 1 hour 55 minutes
I am watching it now
The uncut version I own is actually 2 hours 11 minutes. Don't expect any foreign films purchased domestically that might offend feminists to be uncut. They went on a rampage when this film was initially released domestically. South American women just shrugged. Net Flix regularly edits film content as do most domestic cable channels. I collect foreign film and I can confidently say that Americans are missing out on some amazing eye-opening cinema that opens the mind to the reality of racism, global politics, ignorance etcetera, and also educates one to be culturally tolerant. Oh well. There are many online stores abroad at which you can purchase film. Rip the DVD you then own and locate the subtitles online. Easy-peasy. Although, as an American, I can assure you the majority here are too lazy to read subtitles and have little idea of what real film-making is about. Go Hollywood!
