And as someone who has the 3-disc Criterion edition, I completely agree with the previous comment. I have not yet seen <i>The Fountain</i> (the ads did not do a good job of getting me interested in it), but my mother has been on some kind of epic Target/Wal-Mart scouring quest to find a widescreen copy. I think she finally found one earlier this week.

It absolutely does freak you out! Great film. If you can, I'd recommend seeking out the 3-disc Criterion DVD of Brazil. It includes some great commentaries and documentaries, as well as the studio-edited "Love Conquers All" version, which recuts Brazil to have basically the exact opposite meaning in almost every way. It's a fascinating exercise in changing context through editing. Haven't seen The Fountain but I do want to. Was it your first time seeing Brazil? It absolutely does freak you out! Great film.
