Release Notes on Restoration
Brazil
Brazil is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. This new digital transfer was created under the supervision of Terry Gilliam from a 35mm intermediate duplicate negative and a 35mm low-contrast print. The sound was remastered from the 35mm Dolby stereo magnetic tracks.
