Screened at this year's Cannes and Bologna Film Festivals (Il Cinema Ritrovato) the movie is more than 3 hours long, widely separated in to two epochs: Boulevard du Crime, set in the mid-1820s, and L'Homme Blanc, 7 years later. The replacement plan was key as the earthy condition of the initial negative, owned by movie hulk Path, was really bad shop-worn and in risk of descending apart. When it arrived at clair, the initial disastrous was hold in 11 movie cans housing roughly 2000ft of material. The group at clair faced a number of challenges as they had to say with a lot of dampness and cover together with omitted frames and outrageous wear and tear.
