I wanted to weigh in on this issue after I read this great What Culture article recently. We are no stranger to the idea of a “Director’s” cut or a “Final” cut of a film. These allow the true vision of the director to be realised e.g. Blade Runner, or Brazil for better or worse. However they are usually backed by the studio and considered mainstream or canonical. What most people may not be a aware of is the other practice of editing films, dubbed “recuts”. These can have the same goal as Director’s cut, although they are not backed by the studios and more often than not present a new film entirely. I was lucky enough the actual view a screening of one of the most infamous new cut films of the past 20 years, Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut.
