I watched both versions and I loved both. Of course, original is rawer and you have to accept the hollywood version as it is.. I loved that Penelope was in both, better performance in original, imo..

I seem to remember Penelope Cruz was casted in both, but I may be wrong? Yes the original is remarkably intelligent and interesting cinema, and if you don't mind more artistic compromise, the Hollywood second is just that. Tilda Swinton, it's worth noting is generally rock solid talent.
