This is the american CUT version at 2.5 hours long. Original broadcast version is 3.4 hours and gives so much more to story.

Paulo Sorrentino is the undesputed master of deconstructing human drama on a grandiose scale with savage honesty. No one is spared. This is a slow unfolding yarn that's not as flashy as the trailer would let you believe, so you'll have to make time for it, and you will be glad you did. Bravo!
