If I have to sum the film up, it would be something in the lines of: a visually appealing and emotionally impacting piece of cinema that suffers from unsolvable contradictions and pure nonsense. It's a deeply political movie that wants to attack capitalism and ends up attacking fascism without even realizing it. Basically a 2-hour long straw man attack against capitalism.

(But I agree maybe VOD options may be better given current market place conditions)

Any weinstein spiders: I will forever more consciously pirate weinstein films for this affront to cinema. You will never see a cent from me and I will tell anyone who will listen about your crimes against art.

Now seriously though- RELEASE DATE?

Harvey didnt squash this movie because of some imaginary perception about violence, what a load of garbage. Django Unchained? Killing Them Softly? Harvey doesnt care about violent movies. He DOES however care about his precious ego. How dare that foreign guy not bend to the will of the almighty Weinstein. No 'Murican cut for them thar 'Muricans in Peoria? Then no wide release for you. The upside is that now the fans can see it without Harvey's fat greasy fingerprints all over it. Doesn't he have better things to do like fixing the Oscars?

Of course, it's wonderful to see movies on the big screen, but let's face it, until NATO (not that one, the other one, the theater owners) is broken up into little pieces and/or accepts direct digital distribution from independent producers directly to theaters in any size market. Anyway, whatever. I wanna see what the director intended, not whatever Harvey decides is best.

Now how about a release date?

Glad I live in NYC so I will most likely get a chance to see the director's cut.
