À la faveur de la sortie de l’UHD, Oliver Stone avait remonté son film, l’excisant de sa magnifique scène entre Jim et Pam sur le rebord de la fenêtre de l’hôtel à Los Angeles, juste avant le départ pour Paris. Une manière brutale et un peu idiote d’arriver au final, qui retirait aux deux personnages leur dernière interaction (les deux montages restant disponibles sur les disques cela dit).
Stone, et c’est suffisamment rare dans ce petit milieu des réalisateurs qui n’aiment rien d’autre que retoucher leurs films ad nauseam, vient de publier un mea culpa intéressant, promettant que le montage d’origine aura la primauté si les deux versions ne pouvaient coexister (services de VOD par exemple) :
Note from Director to “The Doors” fans —
Several fans of “The Doors” have contacted me, complaining about the missing scene of some 3 minutes near the end in the new 4k version, called “The Final Cut.” I cut it at the time because I felt the film was getting too long. This was an idiotic mistake on my part.
I realized within days that I was leaving a hole at the end of the film -- i.e. what happened to Jim and Pam’s relationship? Why does she suddenly pop up in Paris with him at the end?
To correct this, keep in mind that the 4k UHD version of “The Doors” contains both the 1991 “Theatrical Cut” (141 minutes), my preferred version, and the “Final Cut” (138 minutes). Both versions are in 4k on the UHD discs, and both cuts also appear on the Blu-Ray included with this set. This is available in US, UK, France, and probably other places. 4k UHD discs are region-free, but if you cannot get this, you can always order from US Amazon.
I recently reached out to Studio Canal in France, who control the rights, and they’re beginning the process of checking the SVOD and digital platforms to make sure the “Theatrical Cut” is available, and where only one version is available, swapping out the “Final Cut” for the “Theatrical Cut.” My apologies.
avec un pote.
