I'm a huge fan of this movie and look forward to getting both cuts on blu-ray. The 132 minute compromise (for run length) cut a few scenes between the time Sam is surrounded by soldiers in his mother's bed with Jill. In the 132m he is immediately unmasked to be tortured creating a more dramatic effect, it also alludes more to fact that Jill was already dead or never released and Sam was already delusional with grief. The 142m cut with the added scenes as Sam is processed for "information retrievel" leaves less room for interpretation of Jill's demise and spoils the torture reveal drama. The longer cut also re-arranges some of the Samurai fighting scenes and dreamscape sequences and shows a little more of Jill's nudeness in the bed scene. Both versions are favorable for differing aspects of interpretation in my opinion.
