American DVD question...


I have seen the American DVD release of THE HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS on different online stores and I have always noticed that the rumming length of the film is 90 min. IMDB has the time at 113 min. Does that mean that this film is edited in the United States?

I don't know how edited it is supposed to be, but when I got it from Netflix the case said it was 90 minutes, and the film turned out to be a little less than two hours, and it was the American DVD release.

reply

Yeah it isn't edited, the box just doesn't have a length, so some places put the length at 90 minutes
The US one is the full movie I am 100% sure of it

reply

are all of this guy's movies like this? or is a splurge of his creativeness?

reply

No, most of his movies are Yakuza movies (most of the time violent and explicit) but most of them are real movie gems (Deadly outlaw rekka, Ichi the killer etc.)

I also noticed that the netflix package has it listed as "not rated" while the disk says "r".
you're not important,
being unique is a concept
