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.

    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.

  • Surrealist Black Comedy Cult Film - Sweeet!

    The future looks very convoluted. Very high tech but nothing works, the government means well but it is paranoid and over-eager, simplicity is complex and nothing is what it should be. Of course this comes from the mind of Terry Gilliam. To try to describe this movie is not easy. Basically the wrong man has been arrested and is up to one lowly official to correct the error. Thing is that the government mistakenly thinks Sam - the lowly official - is behind terrorist attacks. Poor Sam is miserable with his life and all he wants to do is fly away with the girl of his dreams - whoever that may be. This movie is a fun, quirky, dark comedy that is NOT for everyone. If you are looking for a straight forward, simple minded comedy - move on. But if you have been told that you have a ...

  • a weird mix of fun

    I saw this in the theater with 3 other people. Not a blockbuster but it made for a quiet viewing experience. I really enjoyed it, and after all these years it was like seeing it for the first time.Thank you for the thrill!
