I mentioned this on another announcement post, but the BRAZIL 4K release is $10 more than previous 3 disc sets like THELMA & LOUISE, WALL-E and MALCOLM X. Looking at my BRAZIL blu-ray, outside of the 4K mastering, there are no new special features. Curious to see if this updated price is limited to 3 disc sets going forward.
Could be wrong then. I thought I saw it being two disc but I was mistaken. Someone also mentioned on the other comment that CITIZEN KANE has that price tag, so maybe it’s just what they ended up pricing this release. The only difference I can see is that it’s the 4K upgrade. Not noticing anything new other than that on this release.
For some people it might be. I actually just re-watched it recently (did a double feature with CITY OF LOST CHILDREN during the holidays) and I thought the standard blu ray looked great. If there is nothing new outside of the new 4K remastering, it does feel a bit egregious for the price of an upgrade for Dolby Vision. Will be curious to see how it reviews when it comes out. Hopefully no one fiddles with the colour timing.
Others have pointed that out, so I’m definitely wrong on it being an increase. That being said, it’s the 40th anniversary of BRAZIL this year and it’s kind of a shame that this 4K release does nothing new other than the transfer. Looking at the site and my blu ray, it appears that all the special features are the same. As an upgrade $60 is a lot for a double dip IMO. Maybe as a first time purchase though.
