One of the most wildly surreal and inventive science fiction films ever, Terry Gilliam’s mind-blowing Brazil paints a bleak dystopian portrait of bureaucracy, police overreach, and terrorism suffused with astonishing visuals and absurd humor. Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring daydream of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel. Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle, he meets the woman from his daydream, and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies. The kind of eye-popping, brain-twisting marvel that demands to be seen on the big screen, so join us for a strange taste of the future on glorious celluloid!
