Saw it last night and while i think Al Pacino's is indeed giving a most wonderful performance away, i'd suggest cutting off the last, say 10 minutes (the 1990 bit). I think it totally spoils the full 6 hours of enjoyment, since because of it becomes some silly moralist blah-die-blah. What a shame!

Oh, by the way, is that a James Woods cameo, 8 minutes from start (in chapter 1)?
