A bureaucrat in an Orwellian, retro-future world tries to correct an administrative error, and in doing so, becomes an enemy of the state. Orwell, Huxley, Kafka, and Eisenstein are all touchstones of this darkly humorous, wildly imaginative, satirical master stroke of Terry Gilliam’s career. Diving deep into the twisted recesses of his mind, Gilliam crafts one of the most haunting versions of the future ever put to screen. Featuring an all-star cast of Jonathan Pryce, Ian Holm, Michael Palin, Robert DeNiro, and Bob Hoskins, BRAZIL is the perfect storm of lunacy and social commentary. It’s a 1984 *FOR* 1984. It's about flights of fantasy and the nightmare of reality. Terrorist bombings and late-night shopping. True love and creative plumbing.
