Release[]

After the film had its world premiere in Hong Kong on March 8, 2016,[1] A Bride for Rip Van Winkle was released in Taiwan on March 11, 2016[4] and in Hong Kong on March 17, 2016,[5] ahead of its release in Japan on March 26, 2016.[3] The film was released in the United States on November 10, 2017[6]

A Bride for Rip Van Winkle was an official selection of numerous international film festivals:

Versions[]

Two versions of A Bride for Rip Van Winkle were available for theatrical release, a 179-minute "director's cut" and a 119-minute theatrical version.[5] Only the longer version was released in Japan, while both versions were available selectively for international release.[3] Both versions were released in Hong Kong,[5] whereas only the director's cut was released in the United States.[14]

The film was also broadcast as a four-and-a-half-hour,[14] six-episode television series ("serial edition") on the Japanese SKY PerfecTV! service's BS SKY PerfecTV! channel.[15] While retaining the same story and plot, this television series is an alternate version of the film, with extensions for some scenes added and some scenes removed.[16]

Iwai prefers the longer theatrical version, though he has stated that it is "not perfect. Even the TV version, the longest, isn't perfect because it doesn't have a very, very important scene in the climax. You can only see that in the three-hour version."[14]
