...Its longer, has more chapters -- almost like reading an epic. Love the restored bunny scenes that reveal even more levels of delusion. More chapters make this film work.

Coppola 's film comes to mind as one, if not the first, major post Vietnam war statement with teeth.

  For me, the "acting" by the bunnies worked much in the same way Ryan O'Neal's casting in "Barry Lyndon" somehow fit -- less acting, more about being: blank, or kooky, or just illfitting in context.
Disagree. Redux is bloated and a perfect example of why - tinear 04:18:07 10/30/07 (0)
good producers are a directors best friend.
I'd agree that the film already is indulgent as hell.
Someone needed to pimp slip Hopper at some point to straighten him up. At least take away his candy for a few hours...
