Publisher's Notes
In 1985, Director Terry Gilliam submitted the completed version of his groundbreaking film Brazil to Universal Pictures for their approval. Universal Pictures, in the person of President Sidney J. Sheinberg, reported back to Mr. Gilliam that his movie required major reworking before it could go into American release. That's when Terry Gilliam turned from writer-director to writer-director-guerrilla fighter. He and his producer Arnon Milchan proceeded to give Universal Pictures the professional battle of their lives, the most dramatic, wild, elaborate and flat-out entertaining war of "creative differences" that Hollywood has ever witnessed. Gilliam yelled, screamed, threatened. He stone-walled. And when none of that worked, except to get Brazil indefinitely shelved by Universal, he took to the streets. He arranged clandestine screenings for influential people in the film world. He even planned for a while to fly critics screenings of his cut of Brazil in Mexico. Meanwhile, Universal and Sheinberg were cutting the film without Gilliam's knowledge -- to make it more "commercial". Suddenly, it was a race as well as a battle. Which version would American audiences get to see? Gilliam's or Sheinberg's? If you'd like to find out the answer, it's all colorfully and meticulously reported by Newsday Senior Film Critic Jack Mathews in his new Applause Book, The Battle of Brazil.
