Its only a handful of added scenes that were cut from the American version, but they were cut for obvious reasons. Now if this bluray offered both versions, it would be a must have. Don't get me wrong. I bought this import & within the same week I sold it for one third of the price just to get it off of my shelf. But it gives you no choice so save your money. I think Almost Famous is a 5 star movie. But the extended version kills the whole film.
I'm extremely happy that I picked this up while I had the chance. Not to mention, the cast from Phillip Seymour Hoffmann as the music critic Lester Bangs to Kate Hudson in her Oscar nominated role as Penny Lane knock their performances out of the park. While I was hesitant to purchase it since I only have my US PS3 Slim to play Blu Ray on, I ma really happy that I did. This will work on any American player and the clarity is remarkable.
WHO EVER HAD IT TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT BOUGHT AS USED AND IT LOOKS LIKE NEW, MINUS THE FILM.
The 'Director's Cut' includes more footage of the band's "tour" and is the version that should have been released in theatres. Billy Crudup, Patrick Fugit, Kate Hudson, Frances McDomand, and the always-entertaining Philipp Seymour-Hoffmann are a first-rate cast that bring the 70's heyday of heavy rock to life in a moving, emotional story that successfully encapsulates the mythology of the rock star life. This is a wonderful movie that tanked at the box office; hopefully over the years more people will see it and appreciate it for what it is: Cameron Crowe's affectionale and nostalgic tribute to 1970's rock music. May become THE film about 70's rock. Follows the story of a young rock music reporter (based on Crowe's real-life experiences).
i only buy items that are in excellent or good condition, and i wouldnt justify skipping as excellent or good condition the thing that irriates me is that it skips. the cover of my movie was not in the best condition. that didnt bother me so much.
