ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA [C'ERA UNA VOLTA IN AMERICA] - Extended Director's Cut
Sergio Leone's visionary epic of the American Dream follows the uneasy friendship of Noodles and Max (Robert De Niro and James Woods) across the 20th century, starting off as two knockabout Jewish kids on New York's Lower East Side in the 1920s, then enterprising bootleggers in the '30s, but ultimately estranged by their clashing personalities and the consequences of their criminal lifestyle, until an awkward reunion in the late '60s, where they discover that no matter the reinventions in their lives, there are still old scores to settle. The film was infamously cut by some 90 minutes when released in 1984, but this recent restoration overseen by The Film Foundation is the most complete version yet. Scored by Ennio Morricone, ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA also features star turns by Jennifer Connelly, Elizabeth McGovern, Tuesday Weld, Treat Williams, Burt Young, Joe Pesci and Danny Aiello.
