Recently I bought the Fox-Lorber DVD of LA NOTTE. Besides from, perversely, being in a full-screen format, I was shocked to see that several shots were lacking in the start of the film. The DVD started directly with the credits, but in the version I have seen here in Europe, both on TV and in the cinema, there are three or four shots before the credits, the first of a bus driving in a street and then some shots of futuristic-looking buildings. Do anybody on this list know if there is a special American version of this film, omitting these introductory shot? The shot of the bus shows a huge reflection on the side of the bus, thus stating for the first time the reflection motif that runs through the whole film, so it is not as if these shots doesn't matter.
