Description
Summary:	What is Brazil?: Rob Hedden's rare, witty on-set documentary features Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Tom Stoppard, Charles McKeown, Kim Griest, Jonathan Pryce and other key members of the cast and crew. Hedden's film gleefully captures the revolutionary air that had begun to swirl around Brazil even before its U.S. release. Also includes a deleted special effects sequence--the famous eyeball dream. The battle of Brazil: Battle of Brazil author Jack Mathews reassembles the players in the famous struggle over Brazil's US release in this original Criterion documentary. Terry Gilliam, producer Arnon Milchan, studio executives Frank Price, Marvin Antonowsky, Bob Rehme, and Sidney Sheinberg close the book on one of the noisiest, most unusual, and most instructive controversies in Hollywood history. The production notebook: Screenwriters Tom Stoppard and Charles McKeown illuminate the script's development through three drafts and three treatments -- Production designer Norman Garwood displays his designs for Brazil's unique sets -- Costume designer James Acheson discusses the couture of fantasy and fascism -- Storyboards for Terry Gilliam's original dream sequences, many of which didn't make it into the film -- Composer Michael Kamen unveils the sources of his score -- A study of the special effects with raw footage of unfinished effects -- Theatrical trailer, plus publicity and production stills.
