In Reply to: What's the consensus on the movie, "Brazil" (and why the title?)? posted by Guy on November 5, 2005 at 01:35:59:
There's a big difference in quality between the original theatrical version and the director's cut. The director's cut comes off as a far more thoughtful and clear message than the vapid original release. The story behind the changes is one of those art imitates life imitates art sagas as well.
Follow Ups:
I've got the excellent Criterion release, and after watching the director's cut, the original theatrical release is almost unwatchable. The plot is somewhat convoluted in the director's release, and completely unfathomable in the chopped and screwed version.I'd rank it just below my favorite Gilliam movie, 12 Monkeys, as it is a bit draggy in parts, but overall a very good movie.
