A Directors cut is a specially edited version of a movie that is supposed to represent the director s own approved edit of the movie. It is often released some time after the original release of the film, where the original release was released in a version different from the directors approved edit. Cut is synonymous with edit in this context. Apocalypse Now, re-released as Apocalypse Now Redux. Another concept, recently popularized by director Peter Jackson, is that of an extended or special edition, which he used for special releases of his Lord of the Rings movies. While Jackson considers the theatrical releases of those films to be his final directors cut, the extended cut was made so that fans of the material could see nearly all of the scenes shot for the script, but that were cut for theatrical running time or other reasons. Other examples of extended/special editions include James Camerons lengthier cuts of Aliens & Terminator 2 & Luc Bessons Version Integrale cut of Léon. Less frequently, video games will receive rereleases with added material under a directors cut label. Posters Of Directors Cut

Sex & sunlight are on ample display in Betty Blue, director Jean-Jacques Beineixs passionate look at mad love.

It begins at the seashore, where handyman & failed novelist Zorg has his life electrified by Betty, a woman whose sense of abandon frequently tips over into the pathological. This was the role that introduced gap-toothed, voluptuous Beatrice Dalle to the world, & neither Dalle nor the world has ever quite recovered. Traces of Beineixs precious Diva are still present, though this is a darker & more memorable ride, especially in the three-hour version integrale that restores an hour of footage. Its copious nude scenes are a drawing card, but stick around for the age-old alchemy of life translated into art. Gabriel Yareds score is a favourite of movie-soundtrack mavens, especially its haunting piano theme.,

Beatrice Dalle is a French actress. Béatrice Dalle was born in Brest, Finistère, France as Béatrice Cabarrou. She was married to Jean-Francois Dalle but is now divorced. She was working as a model when she met filmmaker Jean-Jacques Beineix. Beineix cast her in the lead role in the 1986 film 37°2 le matin. She went on to appear in a series of major roles in French films. She made her debut to American audiences in Jim Jarmusch s Night on Earth in 1991. In 1997, she was cast in The Blackout, her first film made in the United States. The film itself was a commercial failure. It also had personal consequences for Dalle who was arrested for cocaine possession during the filming. She was cast to play opposite Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense in 1998. However, she lost the part when she was denied a work permit as an undesirable immigrant because of her arrest record. She was arrested again in 1998, when she assaulted a meter maid in Paris who had issued her a ticket for parking in a handicapped space. Dalle was given a suspended sentence & placed on probation.
