Absurdist satires dont
get any better than Terry Gilliams Orwellian movie vision. Imagine
a world ruled by a bureaucratic, oppressive government: Sam Lowry (Jonathan
Pryce) is a mid-level bureaucrat haunted by strange dreams, which propel
him to try to escape the totalitarian system that hes become entrenched
in. Recognised as one of the most original and thought-provoking sci-fi
films of all time, Brazil could have only come from the brilliantly twisted
mind of the former member of Monty Pythons Flying Circus. Which other
director would have envisioned casting Robert De Niro as a superhero freedom
fighter? |
