A Lizard in a Woman's Skin
Source: DVD TrashTime for an update on Cecchi Gori's upcoming Italian DVD release of A Lizard in a Woman's Skin: with a running time of 95 minutes, it sounds as if the release will be cut.
The master is supposedly PAL, which confuses me slightly, since, if it's genuinely a native PAL master rather than a standards conversion from NTSC, then at 95 minutes it would mean that it is not the same cut as Media Blasters' release. The US "Schizoid" cut in the Media Blasters release runs for just under 96 minutes, which would be more like 92 minutes in PAL. Likewise, the fullscreen uncut version in the Media Blasters release, which is a standards conversion from an Italian PAL video, is approximately 97 minutes. In other words, there are three possibilities: (1) the stated running time is wrong, (2) it's a standards conversion of the cut US version, or (3) it's a different cut from either of the versions in Media Blasters' release.
If this release is indeed cut, then I'm extremely disappointed but glad to get the news before shelling out for it.

I've noticed that Italian DVDs have a tendency to state the film's running time, rather than the PAL video running time. So I wonder if it'll turn out to be the Schizoid version?
