Running times - How long is the original version?


The listing for this title states a running time of 120 mins. and mentions a re-cut version running 56 mins.

I've just seen an 86 min. version on Showtime in Australia. It contains full nudity, both male and female. If it's been edited it seems more likely to have been for running time rather than content.

Can anyone confirm the running time on the first US transmission?

I just watched it on HBO On Demand and it was 57 minutes. It contained full frontal nudity. I'm guessing that the only difference in runtime is that instead of showing only certain characters answering questions, it shows each character answering each question. Like, in the beginning of my version, it goes back and forth, word for word, then in some parts in the middle/end, it shows one interrogator asking the detainee, and then it cuts to the other detainee answering.

EDIT: I'm fairly sure that when I first saw it when it premiered, it was MUCH shorter. I think they edited out a lot of the nudity the first time it aired.
