Not the up to date film we were expecting, although managed to fill a friday evening's viewing!
At last we recieved a Blu-ray copy of this magnificent film which both a) played and b) didn't have the ludicrous video-tape (!) insertions of the so called "special edition". I suppose the latter is special, to be fair, just not in the way they intended. Still, it calls for a bottle of Cordon Rouge in celebration.
As to the film, the opening scenes set it up for the next 3 1/2 hours: a murder, a brutal beating and a hallucinogenic visit to an opium den. Wonderful stuff!
