Brazil [Blu-ray] Reviews

Brazil continues to fascinate, even 26 years after its original release.  It's probably more applicable today than in 1985, when you think about it.  The new Blu-ray includes an 1.85:1 AVC transfer of the cut seen in theaters in America in 1985 - so this isn't the longer cut seen in Criterion editions, and the image has been cropped a bit on the top and bottom.  There's also a little strangeness here and there in the image, but nothing that stopped the show for me.  The sound is presented in DTS-HD MA 5.1, which is the first time the movie has been heard in anything but Dolby Surround - and the change is a nice one.  I recommend the disc for rental or purchase for fans of Terry Gilliam who may prefer this shorter cut.
