About this product
Product Information
BRAZIL is Terry Gilliam's masterpiece. Cowritten by Gilliam, playwright Tom Stoppard, and Charles McKeown, the cult-favorite film is set in a futuristic society laden with red tape and bureaucracy. When a bug (literally) gets in the system, an innocent man is killed, leading mild-mannered Sam Lowry (an excellent Jonathan Pryce) to reexamine what he wants out of life. He decides to fight the totalitarian system in his search for freedom--and the woman he loves. The terrific, offbeat cast features Robert De Niro as a renegade heating engineer; Katherine Helmond as Sam's ever-younger mother; Michael Palin as a government-sanctioned torturer with a distaste for upsetting the status quo; Bob Hoskins as a vengeful Central Services employee; Jim Broadbent as a wacko plastic surgeon; the wonderful Ian Holm as Sam's nerve-ridden, pitiful boss, afraid of his own signature; and Kim Greist as the rebel Sam falls for. The look of BRAZIL is relentless, overwhelming, and outrageously spectacular. Giant monoliths rise from the street; government offices are a network of computers, pneumatic tubes, and narrow hallways built with Nazi-like precision; and apartment complexes are a maze of washed-out grays and numbers, all frighteningly uniform. The terrorist explosions actually bring color into this dull, monochramatic world. BRAZIL is a nightmare vision of the future, yet also hysterically funny and incisive, one of the most inventive, influential, and important films of the 1980s.Product Identifiers

My girlfriend hated it...
...but I don't care. It's still one of my favorite dystopian psychological horror films ever. It's one of those films you have to watch more than once to really get what's going on. I get more out of it every time I watch it. Terry Gilliam is a strange genius.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A waste of time & money.
I saw this film back in the 1990s. I was thoroughly taken by it. It was made by an American living in Great Britain...Terry Gilliam I think. Now I could not watch it for more than 10-15 mins before turning it off and donating it to our local library. Weird...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
