Brazil, Terry Gilliam’s visionary Orwellian fantasy, is an audacious dark comedy, filled with strange, imaginative visuals.
Brazil” is like a wild ride through a dystopian future that’s both hilarious and terrifying. Terry Gilliam’s vision of a world ruled by bureaucracy is so over-the-top that it’s hard not to laugh, but at the same time, it’s a scathing commentary on the dangers of unchecked power. The visuals are stunning, with every frame packed with detail and imagination. It’s a movie that demands repeat viewings just to catch everything. If you’re a fan of dark humor and sci-fi, “Brazil” is a must-see. Just don’t expect to come out of it with your sanity intact.

It’s like a stoned, slapstick 1984: a nightmare comedy in which the comedy is just an aspect of the nightmarishness.

TOP CRITIC
Brazil understands the need for escape when suppressed by the worlds monotony, but it also acknowledges the despair of dreamy ideals. They are, after all, ideals, and by definition unreachable.

Deep Focus Review
The world building in the film is another of its strongest points. The visual details throughout add so much to the story without ever being too distracting…

An energetically quirky social metaphor, political commentary and action/sci-fi farce all balled up into one outrageously enjoyable experience, provided you like the work of Terry Gilliam.

Gilliam crams the screen with such a proliferation of bizarre and comic details that you’ll want to revisit this particular nightmare again and again.

Plot
Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) is a harried technocrat in a futuristic society that is needlessly convoluted and inefficient. He dreams of a life where he can fly away from technology and overpowering bureaucracy, and spend eternity with the woman of his dreams. While trying to rectify the wrongful arrest of one Harry Buttle (Brian Miller), Lowry meets the woman he is always chasing in his dreams, Jill Layton (Kim Greist). Meanwhile, the bureaucracy has fingered him responsible for a rash of terrorist bombings, and Sam and Jill’s lives are put in danger.
