Title: The Director Ruined His Own Movie
Review: And the only reason it got ONE star was because of the amazing photography and the amazing score. While I am usually a big believer in letting the artist express the story he wants to tell, this "director's cut" completely destroys a wonderfully simple film. As much as I love the additional underwater footage, you don't need to spell out every last beat in this story. The key to the film is the relationship with Jacque and the ocean - everything else is used show how important that is. Rosanna Arquette's part was raised from a supporting cast member to a starting role - WHO CARES ABOUT HER?!?! Nobody. As much as I have loved many of Luc's films, please be wary of the director's cut of this one. Bigger is NOT definately better. There's a reason that editors are hired on films - to cut the film down to what it needs to be. This version is a perfect example of how a "director's cut" can ruin a film
