I have no suggestions atm but I'm sure I can think of something.
Well, I've discovered that the version I saw this weekend was the director's cut. I just finished watching the original release, and it's a totally different (less good) movie. They hacked two of the most effective scenes inside the room and slapped on a totally inappropriate "happy" ending

This is the second time I've unwittingly seen the director's cut of a movie, loved it, and then later found out that everyone else saw something neutered, mediocre and barely coherent, courtesy of executives who think they know better than the director.
