Too fast-paced and misses context

Rating: 4/10 (29 October 2015)

As it is, the 170 min version, is simply not finished. It goes from one scene to another and seems to be missing a LOT of scenes. The movie and the story lack much needed context. Now, I've read that the original movie was supposed to be about 5 hours long and the director had to cut more then 2 hours. How can you expect to still have a comprehensive movie when you have to cut almost half of the content? There's a 5 hour long mini-series which aired in Serbia. I hope that it becomes available because I can truly imagine this to be a masterpiece... if all the pieces are present that is. As it stands now, there's not much else I can tell you, I don't have enough knowledge about it to truly know what the movie is about.
