What in hell is an unedited version of a documentary?!
I find it hard to take your opinion seriously, based on your having
seen an unedited version of a film.
I will watch the edited version of the film before I form an
opinion. Besides, how can one compare a documentary film to an
artist's life work ? That's just silly.
