<p>Dear Kinejapaners,</p>
<p>I have a query about Shohei <span>Imamura's The Eel. </span>Two versions of the film exist, one running 117 minutes and the other, released on DVD in Japan as 「うなぎ 完全版」, at 135 minutes.</p>
<p>Shochiku say it was the longer version that played in Cannes in 1997 when it won the Palme d'or, but two sources suggest otherwise: the Cannes festival website lists it as 117 mins and the film's Japanese wikipedia mentions the long version only as a dvd release.</p>
<p>The surest way to verify would be to check the festival catalogue from that year. <span style="font-size:10pt;">I wonder if any Kinejapan member might have access to it and can confirm?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">With thanks,<br clear="none">Tom</span></p>
