Thank you very much!

So there is no 5.1 directors cut version? I can't stand the dialogue coming out of the front L&R speakers, with 2.0.

The film was originally released in stereo. This release is fantastic - no DNR, an extremely high bit rate, the full length director's cut and it's region free. I really recommend it.

Well maybe I'll check it out. I mean I know it was originally stereo but I always play the 5.1 tracks, unless they absolutely suck. Where't the cheapest to get it? Anywhere cheaper than Amazon.fr?

The German edition is definitely the cheapest for ten euros:

The British disc is currently seven pounds but only has Dolby Digital Stereo. I think it was an oversight by Fox as all their other Brazil releases have lossless audio:

Thanks! So the German and France is the same?

Fox made an international disc with lots of different languages and subtitles. The only one without lossless sound is the British one, as that was the first released. Personally, I love the French digibook - I think it looks fantastic.

many receivers can give you a "fake" 5.1 track from the 2.0 no problem.
would be somewhat close to what you are looking for, but, of course, no discreet surround action.

+1 on that. A lot more pricey than the UK one but if you love the film there is no choice really!

Other than extras (which I am not interested in), I find it hard to imagine how much better Criterion could do with this film. I'm so pleased with this purchase.

Totally agree. Love the digibook. Looks great great to the laserdisc and criterion DVD set. Time to throw out the uk blu

It's funny because I am not interested in packaging at all normally but this release is so covetable. Somehow the Digibook makes the film more special - strange, isn't it?

Im not really a collector but I will push the boat out for classic films. Brazil is definitely one of them!
