Consensus: Brazil, Terry Gilliam's visionary Orwellian fantasy, is an audacious dark comedy, filled with strange, imaginative visuals.
Runtime: 2 hrs 23 mins
Genre: Comedies
Synopsis: BRAZIL is Terry Gilliam's masterpiece. Cowritten by Gilliam, playwright Tom Stoppard, and Charles McKeown, the cult-favorite film is set in a futuristic society laden with red tape and bureaucracy.... [More]
Starring: Jonathan Pryce, Robert De Niro, Michael Palin, Kim Greist
Director: Terry Gilliam
Influenced by Kafka, Orwell, and Kubrick, Gilliam's darkly humorous futuristic satire is narratively flawed and excessive in many ways, but it displays its creator's wildly vivid imagination and is intermittently witty.

Top CriticBrazil serves up one of the most breathtakingly imaginative worlds ever to be put on screen.
Brazil -- a black comedy that remains ahead of its time -- is one of the most audacious fantasies ever made.
Top CriticBrazil offers a chillingly hilarious vision of the near-future.
Top CriticTerry Gilliam's ferociously creative black comedy is filled with wild tonal contrasts, swarming details, and unfettered visual invention -- every shot carries a charge of surprise and delight.
Top CriticThe bleak Brazil reaches for greatness but just falls short.
If anyone ever doubts the visionary significance of Terry Gilliam's once bright genius as a filmmaker of enormous depth and cynical humor, you need only to visit upon his career-topping 1985 masterpiece of surreal satire.
Gilliam's Orwellian vision is memorable and distinctive
Fortunately the story of an alternative future is realised with such visual imagination and sparky humour that it's only half way through that the plot's weaknesses become apparent.
Top CriticBrilliant all around; Gilliam at his peak

Celebrates imagination as the only escape from a bleak, ridiculous, and troubled world.

It has visual style and imagination to burn, but it's the ideas behind it that make it a modern classic..
An intelligent, thought provoking, visually stunning film.
Gilliam's best and most maddening film.
