"Monty Python meets ninteen eighty four"

When I watched this film for the first time I was amazed by the production values. A quirky, funny and relevent take on our government having too much control over us as individuals.

Terry Gilliam is a visual genius and a master of direction; and Brazil is proof of this.

Each scene plays out perefectly, the script is funny as it is witty and the performaces are excellent. The film constantly pulls you back to watch it again, so you may be emersed in its world once more and discover a new tidbit or hidden message which you havn't noticed upon previous viewings.

In short, an excellent film which deserves multiple viewings to apprecite it fully.

This movie is very well-done, and I'm surprised how long it took me to find out about it. The writing is original and funny, and the visuals and production design are excellent. It's one of the best examples of 1980s science fiction.

Beautifully shot movie, Terry Gilliam does an amazing job of directing this. Jonathan Pryce's scenes with Ian Hom are tremendous and they are something that should be applauded. The only reason why I didn't give this a 10/10 is because the ending...

Beautifully shot movie, Terry Gilliam does an amazing job of directing this. Jonathan Pryce's scenes with Ian Hom are tremendous and they are something that should be applauded. The only reason why I didn't give this a 10/10 is because the ending is weak for a movie that was strong throughout. 9/10.

Brazil is by far my favorite Gilliam film, mostly because of the dazzling visuals and the hilarity of Pryce's performance.

Brazil is by far my favorite Gilliam film, mostly because of the dazzling visuals and the hilarity of Pryce's performance.

In the future, the government controls everything. Sam Lowry, a lowly government employee, falls for a woman involved in a rebellion, thus putting his own life in danger.

The film has a really great dark comedy feel, and the story seems really fresh and interesting (thanks to the performances and the set). It's a film I recommend for anyone who wants something a bit "different."
