"No motion picture in recent history has sparked as much controversy as Terry Gilliam's nightmare fantasy. Brazil was made on budget, on schedule, and according to its approved shooting script, but when Gilliam delivered his Orwellian black comedy (starring Jonathan Price and Robert De Niro) to Universal Pictures, the studio, fearing it lacked commercial potential, refused to release the film. THE BATTLE OF BRAZIL is the fascinating saga of the making of--and battle to distribute--the movie, and it is a textbook model of the conflict of art and commerce in Hollywood. It is the flip side to Final Cut, the story about the film Heaven's Gate, because the story of Brazil, as bizarre as the movie itself, marks the first time a director has ever drawn a studio head into a public fight--and won! THE BATTLE OF BRAZIL includes the full original screenplay by Gilliam, Charles McKeown, and Tony Award-winning playwright Tom Stoppard. This script--which by itself is worth the price of admission--is annotated by the author, based on interviews with cast and crew, and lavishly illustrated with still photographs and never-before-published sketches." [jacket copy] "The value of this book is that it documents in rare detail the back-room haggling and the attempted ego-bashing that is part of the movie business."--Gene Siskel. "Jack Mathews writes with clarity and passion about the classic struggle between a visionary filmmaker and a powerful, opinionated studio chief. His factual account of the multimillion-dollar misunderstanding is hilarious, painful, and illuminating. The book is as controversial and unexpected as the film which is its subject matter, and I expect it will take its place alongside Indecent Exposure and Final Cut as a definitive look at the business of American filmmaking."--William Friedkin. "Brazil is one of the few '80s films that really matters: Jack Mathews's account of its attempted suppression really matters too. Told with the passion of an advocate yet with the objectivity of a crack reporter, THE BATTLE OF BRAZIL is a chilling, inevitably hilarious account of a great film that almost got away."--Michael Clark, USA Today.
