Brazil is a quirky film. The story borrows a lot from George Orwell’s novel “1984” and is set in a dystopian future. The world is dominated by technology and, worse yet, by bureaucracy and surveillance.

Protagonist Sam works in one of the countless offices and archives and one day encounters a terrorist who escapes from the authorities, causing an innocent person to pay with their life for his actions. From then on, Sam wanders through a labyrinth of secrets, conspiracies, and dreams that suddenly come true.

Brazil is full of dark humor, is surreal in its presentation and is a feast for fans of socially critical stories. For anyone who has always wanted to know what a gloomy science fiction film looks like from a Monty Python member’s pen, Brazil delivers the perfect film.
