We watched the feature length re-edited special edition which has new 5.1 surround sound, and many new shots and some restructuring.There are approximately 6 versions of this now out on various VHS, DVD and Bluray releases. This actually suggests that the production is messy and some versions must be either incomplete or imperfect. (Like Blade Runner I guess...)
The story is impressive but there is more than a few nods to old Norse mythology that has unfortunate Wagnerian associations and therefore Nazi connotations.
There is a sense of doom and tragedy in several characters and the climax is traumatic.
Personally the "mother you hate" stuff is difficult for me. But it is very effective.
