cheers. i took film studies for 3 years at uni but somehow this film escaped me! Gonna buy it immediately! Can u recommend a particular cut of the film? Directors?

[emeritus]

there are quite a few DVD`s available on Amazon, afraid i cant help with a recommendation.

Coincidentally the extended directors cut is on tomorrow afternoon at 13.10 Sky Movies Indie.

I thought it was sentimental - cute old man, cute young boy. Of course I'm a sourpuss.
