When I watched the new US release of “Blissfully Yours” on DVD, I am shocked. Beyond Words. The differences between this version and that of the Thai DVD release is simply phenomenal. For the first time in my life, I must have thought that the people who censored these films are simply senseless and disrespectful. I am infuriated that someone could even bear to slaughter a movie like that, and I was vaguely reminded of the rumours i heard about Miramax’s Harvey “Scissorshand” At least 30 minutes is removed from the film, it was ridiculous! Not only the sexual scenes, scenes that are the slightest bit “boring” is being  removed. An entire car driving on the road scene is removed, for no reason, other than maybe it is long? But this is really not the discretion of the distributor. In fact the car scene is a beautiful and mesmerizing look at rural Thailand, as well as an important scene that shapes the relationship between the two women protagonists. I really love this version of Blissfully Yours, the movie makes so much more sense, as it is given so much more space than before. It is still quietly subtle, yet laden with many emotions that comes through the people and the space. Highly recommended for all to watch! The new release of course.
