text_A: Kurosawa's next film, for Shochiku, was "The Idiot", an adaptation of the novel by the director's favorite writer, Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The story is relocated from Russia to Hokkaido, but otherwise adheres closely to the original, a fact seen by many critics as detrimental to the work. A studio-mandated edit shortened it from Kurosawa's original cut of 265 minutes to just 166 minutes, making the resulting narrative exceedingly difficult to follow. Despite this, the severely edited film version is no longer widely considered to be one of the director's least successful works and the original full length version still exists. Contemporary reviews of the much shortened edited version were positive, but the film was only a moderate success at the box office, largely because of the popularity of one of its stars, Setsuko Hara.
text_B: Do critics like the edited version of "The Idiot?"
YES.
