I hate to admit it, but the first time I saw this I was in my favorite theater in Paris (Le Grand Action), and I fell asleep. I'm sure it was during one of my "three or four films in a day" binges and I just couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. Anyway, I think I finally saw it for the first time in its entirety during the fall of 1996—and it's haunted me ever since.
