Brazil

This 1985 Terry Gilliam masterpiece stands as one of the great examples of studio-prevented censorship. Universal originally wanted to chop more than 30 minutes out of the film and give the film a happy ending. But critics came to the rescue after a special screening of Gilliam's original cut.\nThe DVD release captures the essence of the insanity surrounding the proposed original cut and the film's production and preserves the beauty of the futuristic film. The first disc features Gilliam's ultimate director's version of the film along with an insightful commentary track by Gilliam himself. Disc two is jam-packed with material, including a documentary on the making of the movie, a featurette on the script's development through three treatments and a video essay on the battle to get "Brazil" released in its full form. Disc three contains the original 94-minute studio cut of the film, showing the world just how stupid producers can be.\nOverall, this is the most exhaustive DVD ever produced on one single film and shows how far the DVD format can go.
