NOTES
This disc was officially cancelled in 1995, a few years after Criterion had announced it, because MCA Home Video wouldn't grant permission to use the extra footage director Terry Gilliam wanted.
Criterion announced in March 1996 that finally the problems were solved and the disc came out in autumn 1996.
Supplements: - All footage from the longer European version; Audio commentary by Terry Gilliam; Interview with co-writer Tom Stoppard; The original theatrical trailer, production and publicity stills.
- "The Production Notebook" Screenwriters Tom Stoppard and Charles McKeown illuminate the script's development through 3 drafts and 3 treatments. Production designer Norman Garwood displays his design's for Brazil's unique sets. Costume designer 'James Acheson' explores the couture of fashion, fantasy and fascism. Terry Gilliam's original dream sequences, in storyboards, include hundreds of shots that never made it to the screen. Composer 'Michael Kames' unveils the sources of his score. A study of the special effects includes footage of unused effects.
- "What Is Brazil?" Rob Hedden's rare 30 minute witty on-set documentary features Terry Gilliam and other key members of the cast and crew.
- "The Battle Brazil: A Video History" Battle of "Brazil" author Jack Mathews reassembles the players in the famous battle of "Brazil"'s US Release in this original 1996 Criterion documentary. Terry Gilliam, producer Arnon Milchan, and several studio executives close the book on one of the noisiest, most unusual, and most instructive controversies in Hollywood history.
- "Brazil: The Love Conquers All Version" With audio annotation by 'David Morgan' , this 94 minute version of "Brazil", rearranged in the hope of making the film commercial, stands as a fascinating document of the power of editing to change a picture.
