Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

I had wanted to check "Shawn Amos" versus "Myra Ellen Amos".

[edit] Different versions of the film

The film consists of three different stories which are only thematically related. The stories do not have any characters or events in common. (Except that the Olympia Dukakis character, the elderly nun in the Africa story, provides a small amount of voiceover narration for all three stories.) Apparently there are two different versions of the film, as discussed in this interview with the director. One version has the three stories intercut "every few minutes" while the other has them basically sequential. Also see this thread on the IMDb boards, where someone purporting to be with Wolfe Releasing says the version that played theatrically in the USA is the director's cut, and "varies greatly from the Canadian release version in structure, content and tone". This info should be added to the article. --Mathew5000 10:26, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Also this article says that in one version of the film there is a racy scene with Stockard Channing at a strip club -- that certainly was not in the version of the film that I saw on DVD. --Mathew5000 11:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
