Product Description

Amazon.ca

Sex and sunlight are on ample display in Betty Blue, director Jean-Jacques Beineix's passionate look at mad love. (Every French director is contractually required to make at least one movie about l'amour fou.) It begins at the seashore, where handyman and failed novelist Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) has his life electrified by Betty, a woman whose sense of abandon frequently tips over into the pathological. This was the role that introduced gap-toothed, voluptuous Beatrice Dalle to the world, and neither Dalle nor the world has ever quite recovered. Traces of Beineix's preciousDiva are still present, though this is a darker and more memorable ride, especially in the three-hour "version integrale" that restores an hour of footage. Its copious nude scenes are a drawing card, but stick around for the age-old alchemy of life translated into art. Gabriel Yared's score is a favorite of movie-soundtrack mavens, especially its haunting piano theme. --Robert Horton

Product Description

Zorg lives a quiet and peaceful life, working diligently and writing in his spare time. Until Betty walks into his life, a young woman who is as beautiful as she is wild and unpredictable. When Betty's wild manners start to get out of control, Zorg is forced to watch the woman he loves slowly go insane. Featuring French Superstars Jean-Hugues Anglade, Béatrice Dalle. From Jean-Jacques Beineix, the acclaimed director of the cult art house favorite, Diva. The sexy cult classic is now available from the first time on DVD and it's the unrated director's cut! Academy Award® nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

3.0 out of 5 stars Note, this is NOT Beineix's director's cut Jan 2 2012
By K. Gordon TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Blu-ray
I'm not in the extreme on this, in that I enjoyed the original cut,
but I think the longer cut is both richer and more haunting.

But in any case, it seems absurd to bring out a blu-ray that
doesn't at least have the choice of both. (Same thing with
the recent 'Brazil' blu-ray).

When the director's preferred original vision has long been available
it just seems wrong for the only blu-ray to not contain that. If you
want to give me the original cut too, and let me compare, terrific!
(As Criterion did on their great 'Fanny and Alexander' set)

But if you have to pick only one, it's not the one the film-maker
dislikes!

2.0 out of 5 stars A quand la version longue! Mar 22 2013
By Pascal Germain
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ne vous trompez pas j'adore ce film, c'est un des meilleurs que j'ai vu de ma vie, mais a quand la version longue de ce film en blu-ray, la version cinéma disponible en blu-ray est tronqué de 65 mins , pas 10 mins, ça c'est une heure de moins a ce chef-d'oeuvre. Bref excellent film, format parfait, version et longueur de merde.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 HOUR BETTY BLUE ON DVD IN UK, WHY NOT USA? May 21 2004
By Robin Simmons
Format:VHS Tape
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.
