3 HOUR BETTY BLUE ON DVD IN UK, WHY NOT USA?
This amazing and compelling story about two crazy kids (well, one might be a little crazier than the other) is availaible in a three hour director's cut on DVD in England. Some enterprising distributor should make it available here in the colonies as well. It is an unforgettable film about the pathology of obsessive love and creativity. You will long remember Zorg and Betty. I'm surprised someone hasn't turned it into a musical. It's very Sondheim.

A must-own for french movie cinephiles
I picked this DVD up a while back, but was so used to seeing the original 2-hour version that I almost cringed when I paid for it. How much better could it be, right?

I was pleasantly surprised; even though the 'interview' portion of the extras is nothing but Korean Text, the film itself has never looked better. And as a previous reviewer said, there are the little black-outs of various scenes involving nudity, and the reason for this is simply puritanism, and heaping doses of hypocrisy. Korean 'erotica' is stuck on Japan's old regulations that genitalia may not be shown. By and large, however, you won't mind it, as the film is quite excellent on its own merits.

There are longer films out there, like "La Belle Noiseuse", but at this running length (just like the director's cut of "Once Upon A Time In America"), time flies by faster than you might believe. Jean-Hughes Anglade and Beatrice Dalle are one of the great screen couples, and predate the ultra-lame, ultra-tame Drew Barrymore vehicle "Mad Love" by about a decade.

Overall, a great DVD transfer, and a joy to own.
