Thank God we're nowadays able to see 'Director's Cuts' of movies like Brazil, in cases where the director and the studio were at odds about what to release to the public. I like Brazil enough that it's an unalloyed pleasure to sit through his 'long' version. I'd trade most of my stereo gear in for a chance to see Orson Welles's version of The Magnificent Ambersons, which RKO eviscerated. They destroyed nearly an hour of footage. Lost forever. They tacked on a "Hollywood Ending".
But you can see RKO's point of view, right? Welles had just finished his first film, Citizen Kane, at the age of 24-25. And who's even heard of that film?
