No but I'm already anticipating Penguin ep. 2.

World's greatest detectiiiiiiiiiives!

For me, it is easily the most breathtaking cinematic experience of the year - a movie that was 40 years in the making and that dares to defiantly break all the rules we're accustomed to....
Only late-stage Godard came close to something like this.

You're not that far off. It is fairly understandable but has a strange tone and rhythm with some sub-plots which I feel would be improved by bringing back some of those deleted scenes (maybe I'm misremembering it's wrap-up talk, but I was expecting something closer to 3 hrs)...

For now I sit on a 6/10 but yeah, it's an unsual one that has to be seen.

An experimental film can be seen in any number of different ways; the one thing you can be sure of is that it won't feel like corporate product. This is probably the most personal statement Coppola has ever made, way more than Apocalypse Now

The version that I saw was 2 hours 13 minutes without credits, 2h 18m with credits.

I'm not aware of Coppola saying anything about a longer cut, although I'm sure there was a lot of material left on the cutting room floor. If we are lucky, maybe the eventual disc release will include a few deleted scenes?

I have only seen it once and can't wait to watch it again at least 3-5 more times
