Director's Cut? You can keep it!!
Had not watched the movie in years, but my 78 year old mama was visiting us so we ordered it from Netflix. It's an old family favorite (yes, it's flawed, but we are a sentimental old bunch, and my mother and father saw many of the movies shown at the "Paradiso" when they were growing up in Argentina). Turns out we were sent the directors cut. Boy, were we pissed off after watching it. The whole thing with the "old" Elena at the end was horrid. And the scenes where we find out Alfredo lied to both of them? SCREW THAT!!! Really, the original version left a lot to the imagination with that over-credits scene where he spots her in a crowd. Sometimes, you just have to leave things alone.
