Same here.Carlo Medina said:It's official then, waiting for Criterion...
I remember how sad I was when I sold my VHS of the TC. I like it for several reasons, including the closing shot that fades into the clouds from the opening then credits roll. I believe that's how it is. MUCH prefer that. Will be buying this. Can't wait! ...will buy the director's too once it's out. No prob. Now, if they would do Time Bandits justice...and give me the rest of Gilliam's workscafink said:... I'm not optimistic about the theatrical version of Brazil being included on Criterion's Blu-ray, so I'm glad it's available for those who want it. I don't believe it was ever released on DVD.
Until now, the European cut is the only one that's been available in North America. The studios divide title by territory, not by edit.Lord Dalek said:Isn't the European Cut owned by Fox and not Universal? That would explain why it's never been made available on home video in North America.

Is the original Universal DVD the same as the Criterion then? I know the case states that it's the American theatrical cut, but I've always heard that it was in fact the European edit.Lord Dalek said:The European cut to the best of my knowledge has NEVER been released on video in the US. Its either been the US cut or the Criterion edit (which is close but not exactly the same thing which probably explains your confusion).
