The Cotton Club Encore (Blu-ray + DVD) R
It was the jazz age. It was an era of elegance and violence. The action was gambling. The stakes were life and death.

...Coppola and Kennedy have taken great pains to research the era and come up with an interesting mix of real and created characters of great authority...
Variety
In the end, there's a point about black struggle alongside white dominance in "The Cotton Club Encore" that Coppola can't get quite right because, ultimately, atmosphere won out over emotion.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/4 --
Gorgeously shot, art directed and costumed, the visuals were strong but the storytelling was not clear. Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola has released a 139-minute director's cut, and his revisions finally do justice to the script.

National Newspaper Publishers Association
Might also be called The Cotton Club Transformed, because this cut makes a film that felt like a failure into one of Coppola's very best pictures. This movie is a feast with all the trimmings, and then some.

TheWrap
Yes, the film is still a bit of a mess here and there and probably always will be. However, The Cotton Club Encore takes it and elevates it from the rank of fascinating misfire to unqualified success.

Coppola can't avoid a dash of mythology when filming brutal killings, but he also looks grimly at the Mob's role in popular artistry-and in enforcing racial barriers.

Coppola's new version does everyone on screen a favor.

Product Description:
Beautiful music and striking dance performances are the highlight of Francis Ford Coppola's musical/mobster flick centered around the legendary Harlem nightclub. The club's black dancers and musicians entertain the exclusively white audience made up of gangsters and Hollywood stars. Local boy Dixie Dwyer (Richard Gere) saves the life of crime boss Dutch Schultz (James Remar) and reluctantly enters the world of racketeering. Talented tap dancer Sandman Williams (Gregory Hines) struggles to get ahead in the segregated world of 1920s nightlife. Authentic costuming and sets help make THE COTTON CLUB a stylistic homage to the Jazz Age and gangster films of old.
