Interesting... except for one bit that concerned me more about the writer than the film. He mentioned - and with some degree of appreciation to boot - the fact that the new one is one hour shorter than the 1972 model.Is this simply the tribute to our Readers Digest society?
Let's face it, in minds of those who hate the Tarkovsky's work its length is just an excuse, as they would have hated it if it was 30 minutes long.
On the other hands, for those who love and appreciate it it never appeared too long.
So this argument seems completely out of place to me.
