Margaret (Extended Cut)
Q&A with Kenneth Longergan, J. Smith Cameron & Anna Paquin, moderated by Tomris Laffly.
Though Margaret was shot in 2005, it didn’t reach theatrical release until 2011 with a 150-minute version after a years-long legal battle between the studio and filmmaker Kenneth Lonergan, a staunch defender of his artistic vision. Lonergan’s preferred cut, close to three hours long, was released on DVD the following year, and now, The Paris Theater is proud to present the extended cut in all of its glory and gore on the big screen, where it always belonged. The film follows a young woman who witnesses a bus accident, and is caught up in the aftermath, where the question of whether or not it was intentional affects many people’s lives.
