also "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga", film by Werner Herzog

  It was shot and directed by a totally different person, a famous Rusdian documentary director. 4 x 1h parts. It is absolutely glorious. After the original movie was made, released and got successful, Werner Herzor made a deal with the director and edited 4 hours of original movie in half, while adding his commentary. He made it A LOT worse, sadly. The only people who rave about it, are the ones who haven't seen the original. Please, do yourself a favor and watch it. Perhaps the reason why Werner absolutely butchered the film was because he was so out of touch with the subject of happiness?..

      You are correct. The movie was originally released on youtube by the director himself. I wasn't sure it had English subtitles, therefore I didn't specifically reference youtube as a place to find it. If someone watches the original I would really appreciate sharing your opinion about the movie (in general and/or in comparisson to the shortened version).
