I haven't watched this in years and I don't remember too much about it apart from lots of cool names and a Hollywood cash in on the internet / cyberpunk craze.
This is the Reloaded edition, a fan has edited together both cuts of the film (US & Japanese) to create a longer, fuller cut.

Oh. It’s so good. Longo originally envisioned it that way. It’s like watching a different movie. It really highlights and amplifies the surrealism of it, the noir aspects.
Every time I go to download my digital-only (as in, I don't own the vinyl or CD) releases I pause, wonder, should I be downloading these as FLAC rather than 320Kbps? Then I look at the file size difference and think, that's so much more space, I'll need a bigger drive, more to backup. So I try to research, and realize that's an audiophile sinkhole that yields nothing useful. I'm unlikely to spend time a/b testing formats; my hearing is not golden anyway; my equipment just ok.
So ¯_(ツ)_/¯...?
I first discovered Hartley when I was living in DC for a short while after college and just saw any movie I could, esp art & low budget. Went on a Tuesday with a friend, blind. One other couple there. When it was over they were grumbling how they hated it and we were amazed. I saw every other movie of his up through Henry Fool in the theater.
Like who knows really and I would never comment even in DM but there’s some users around here of whom I’m highly suspicious they are who they say they are.
