OK, movie was made by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame, stars Jonathan Pryce, Robert Deniro, Bob Hoskins, and a list of other notable folk. Great sci-fi fantasy film that has been compared to Orwell's 1984. Granted it has a "big-brother" theme, but I don't think it can be compared to anything. It's a one of a kind film. If you liked any of Gilliams work, 12 Monkey's, Strange Days, Adventures of Baron Munchausen, etc, then Brazil is sure NOT to dissapoint. Be forwarned though, it is an odd movie. Not lots of special effects, and action. Not a lot of dialogue either, just a trippy thinkers film. It was made in 1985. Go rent it!!!! =0)

It's a fantastic movie, and Hollywood keeps robbing from it for every decent science fiction movie done in the last ten years. It shows Gilliams' talent to a height he hasn't reached again yet, even if he went pretty close to do it with The fisher King . It's visionary, romantic, dreamy, melanchonic, harmonic, extremely funny and it reflected at what absurd levels can arrive the government control on private lives, and the obsession for youth. Great movie! By the way, Gilliam admirers shouldn't miss
Lost in La Mancha, it's a truly beautiful and hilarious documentary on his attempts to shoot a movie about Don Quixote. Luckily there are still bright dreamers like Mr. Gilliam in cinema business.
