Once-troubled 'Margaret' grows longer

The saga of writer-director Kenneth Lonergan 's nearly lost film "Margaret" had yet another chapter written in Los Angeles this week. Shot in 2005, the movie starring Anna Paquin was beset by post-production delays and legal disputes and finally opened in near-empty movie houses last fall. Following a year-end critical caucus around the film, including much online championing of its underdog status, it had a moderately more successful second-go at theaters early this year. Recently released on home video, "Margaret" was shown Tuesday in a 3-hour, 6-minute extended version to a full house at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. (That cut is available only as part of a new 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD set along with the 2-hour, 29-minute theatrical version.) Among the crowd were filmmakers Michael Mann and Jay Duplass, musician Michael Des Barres, actresses Winona Ryder , Molly Shannon and Jane Adams , and Paquin's husband and "True Blood" costar Stephen ...
