## Before you buy

- The listed 3 hours and 5 minutes corresponds to the director’s preferred 185-minute cut. The description also identifies an original 205-minute version, so the listing’s single runtime does not represent both cuts. The listed genre is Documentary, while the supplied description presents it as a feature film. Check the edition details if runtime or genre classification is important.

- Buyers who want both the preferred cut and the longer original version on one release.
- Collectors who value contextual extras such as interviews, documentaries and commentary.
