Stunning Print to Replace Lost Copy
I bought the original 3-disc set four years ago and loaned it to someone and never got it back. I moved to another city, so I thought I would replace the box set.

Wow. The new print is stunning. It absolutely looks like they really spent a lot of time and effort in cleaning it up. The set is fabulous and the print makes the movie look brand new. I'm watching it as I write this review. The movie looks better than it could have looked when it was originally released. Also the dream sequences look awesome! If you like the movie- go get it!

Do NOT buy this - a re-release is on its way!
A re-release of Criterion's "Brazil" is being released in September and is available for pre-order on the site. It has the exact same contents as this three-disc collection, but they have upgraded the video to an anamorphic transfer after complaints were filed by viewers that the transfer on this edition was so poor/grainy.

Not only that, but the list price is $41.99 as opposed to $59.99. The only difference is that there is an improved transfer on the new set and the cover art is a bit different.

So, before you buy this, you may want to re-consider and purchase the newer, improved release by Criterion.
