filmfanatic99 is correct. There are 4 versions and two of them are on the Criterion DVD-- Director's Cut and Love Conquers All. I myself have also seen the American Theatrical cut, which was rentable at Blockbuster when I first saw the movie in 1998. No telling if they'd still have it, since it is only on VHS and the tapes have gotta wear out sooner or later. It is closer to the Director's Cut than the Love Conquers All, but does not have the scene with Mr. Helpmann as Santa at the end.

I heard there were 4 versions: -The love conqeurs all version (or the Sheinberg edit) -The American Theaterical cut -The European Theaterical cut -The Director's Cut

no. the love conquers all version was the one released in america. terry gilliam had a very public fight with the big universal guy sid sheinberg and he didn't allow gilliam to release his version of the movie the real version never really showed in theaters except gilliam's clandestine screenings to the LA critics who immediatly awarded it tons of awards which prompted the limited release of the real version

No I mean the American Theaterical cut released in theaters. The love conquers all version was on TV right?

filmfanatic99 by american cut do you mean the super shortened and edited terrible american version? it is known as love conquers all if you buy the criterion dvd the love conquers all version is available on it however i do not reccomend watching it it murders a truly ingenious movie

Where can I find a torrent for the American cut of this film. I already tracked down the european cut of this film and I can readily buy the criterion DVD.

I love this song because it has such depth and emotion, but still keeps that fast pace craziness of the scene. Bravo Michael Kamen! The movie was really well made and so creative, Although the ending is depressing, i still loved Brazil, Amazing work by Terry Gilliam!

Brasil, meu Brasil brasileiro, Meu mulato inzoneiro, Vou a cantar-te nos meus versos. Ô Brasil, samba que dá Bamboleio que faz gingá. Ô Brasil do meu amor, Terra do Nosso Señor, Brasil, Brasil, prá mim, prá mim! Ô abre a cortina do passado. Tira a mae* preta do cerrado. Bota o rei congo no congado. Brasil, Brasil, prá mim, prá mim! Deixa cantar de novo o trovador Á merencória luz da lua Toda cançao de meu amor. Quero ver a Sà Dona caminando Pelos saloes arrastrando...

Not portuguese lyric. this music is by Ari Barroso (1939), brazilian, and created a new musical genre "samba exaltação". Besides they use the music, "Brazil" is a old mythical land in a traditional Irish legendy. A utopic land.The movie is not a reference to the country but escapist beahaviors and utipical dreams.
