Kurosawa&#8217;s original version ran 265 minutes, but the abandoned footage has never been found, leaving us with a 166-minute iteration that honestly still feels pretty lengthy. While <em>The Idiot<\/em> was a personal favorite of Kurosawa&#8217;s, it hasn&#8217;t held up well as a particularly accessible movie, instead coming across as more of a literary adaptation that will be of most interest to those familiar with the novel.
