Product description

In the dystopic masterpiece Brazil, Jonathan Pryce (Glengarry Glen Ross) plays a daydreaming everyman who finds himself caught in the soul-crushing gears of a nightmarish bureaucracy. This cautionary tale by Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), one of the great films of the 1980s, now ranks alongside antitotalitarian works by the likes of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. And in terms of set design, cinematography, music, and effects, Brazil, a nonstop dazzler, stands alone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gilliam's Masterpiece
    Reviewed in Canada on February 8, 2004

    After Monty Python Terry Gilliam got ambitious. Thinking that he could do more than just smart comedy he started to tackle larger, more adult themes. Brazil is his best work by far. There is a kafka type story here that anybody familiar with the trial will understand, mixed with fantasy, and orwell. Much more interesting (and beautifull) than the movie 1984, which came out the same year as this masterpiece, Brazil is a tour de force of style first and foremost that anybody who enjoys unique and enlightening shot composition should appreciate. Gilliams camera angles are much copied but never to the same effect. The dream sequences are beautifull and hillarious (for those of us who can laugh at how ridiculous our dreams really are). The protaganist is constantly running away from this totalitarian, overly beuracratic world, into his dreams. Which are typical man dreams (he fights an evil and wins a woman) these are essential to the story in order to illuminate waht the hero really wants (in comparisson to what he says he wants). There are many little jokes, and immaginative touches. This movie isn't weird for the sake of itself (like lynch) or too pretentious (like greenaway) it rests comfortably between classic cinema, art film, fantasy, comedy, and drama, without ever becoming preachy. It also has one of the best end sequences of all time, right up there with the conversation. The plot of this film is somewhat irrelavent, the movie creates a world, not a linear story. This world is realized quite effectively. Your never sure if the technology is beyond or behind where we are and the film is filled with beautifull mechanical inventions that look like victorian technology gone haywire. But in way of a plot there are many stories you can follow in the film. A man falling in love. A man ruining his life. A boss who needs his underlings to do all the work. Another man who betrays friends and hides in dark alleys (named lime, and probably from the third man). A case of mistaken identity and a resultant killing. With three hours of film there are a few different stories hidden in here, find them all if you like. The movie seems to be designed for repeat viewings in order to catch everything. If you enjoy smart films that know what movies can do, buy this film and watch a masterpiece.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Own For Fans
    Reviewed in Canada on December 30, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This is one of the most widely requested Blu-Ray transfers from the Criterion collection and it does not disappoint. There's no point going into the details of one of the great, critically acclaimed films in Terry Gilliam's body of work, there's already massive amounts of critique and analysis dedicated to that. What's important is that Criterion finally stepped up and gave fans of the movie an alternative to the bare bones, Universal edition that came out previously.

    While both transfers are generally comparable in quality, the new Criterion edition still slightly edges out the Universal transfer for overall quality. There's still a layer of film grain apparent, especially in effects heavy portions like Sam's dream sequences, where the softness of the shots due to optical effects really stands out now. Also for sticklers of digital noise reduction, if there is any used here, it's not as apparent to scrutiny at it was in the Universal release. Best of all of course, is the gamut of Criterion extras included here, all of which come from the previous DVD release, including the studio "Love Conquers All" version and the attendant documentaries. For fans of Brazil, there is simply no question; this is the best the film has ever been to date. For people that have somehow never seen this movie, this is a good place to start.

    I have the Universal version as well and this is definitely superior. The extra 10 or so minutes allow the last part of the film to make a lot more sense. Great picture and sound for a film that is stunning to the eye and ear. The content is as poignant as ever, if not more so in this era of disinformation.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic movie on an awesome 3-Disc Set.

    In the near future where it's a mix of the retro-eras all combined in one weird alternate futuristic world, bureaucrat are like busy bees in one giantic hive track down many anti-government terrorists. One particular bureaucrat geek named Sam Lowy (Jonathan Pryce) is a daydreamer who dreams of himself as a winged superhero in a world of psychedelic fantasy where she dreams of a beautiful nude girl only sometimes has to return to his daily nightmare. However a huge mistake on a wrong arrested man however creates one hell of a real nightmare for Sam as he seeks out his dreamgirl named Jill (Kim Griest) as he struggles in a battle of good and evil which plays in both real life and his dreams.

    A unique and one-of-a-kind dark futuristic fantasy comedy epic from co-writer and director Terry Gilliam is the second movie of his major 80's fantasy trilogy that began with "Time Bandits" and finally ended with "Adventures of Baron Munchausen". The film offers the viewer a retro-esque future that mixes the past of the 40's, 50's, 60's and early 70's in one movie but in a brilliant kind of surreal and weird way that it's just scrumbcous like Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" or Fritz Lang's "Metropolis". The movie is inspired by George Orwell's "1984" and Gilliam's earlier "Time Bandits" here this movie represents a movie that is better then the first of the trilogy as it's also the darkest but most best. The film co-stars Katherine Helmound, Robert DiNero, Bob Hoskins, Michael Palin and Ian Holm for the co-star cast is very solid including the acting and there's a good sense of humor to propell with a few good action sequences and of course imaginative special effects even in these days of CGI.

    This 3-Disc criterion collection offers the first Disc which is the Final Cut that combines footage from both Euro and American versions in one including a more somber ending is presented wondefully in excellent picture and sound quality including audio commentary by Terry Gilliam. Disc two offers still galleries, Trailer, featurettes, storyboards including for some more fantasy sequences that didn't make it into the final film, and two documentaries including on the controversy of the U.S. release and the final disc offers an alternate 94 minute syndicated version with alternate score, never before seen footage, shorter pacing and alternate feel good ending presented with optional audio commentary. This is a must have for fans of futuristic movies and fantasy epics.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2013

    The world of BRAZIL is one of technological nightmares; a world devoid of life, where status and information have taken the place of love and happiness. The government has become so overly-concerned with efficiency and control that it has simply lost touch with the meaning of the two. It is in this world that we first meet Sam Lowry, a government paper-pusher who frequently retreats from his job at the Ministry of Information into the sanctity of his mind, where he dreams of flying freely over green pastures to meet the woman of his dreams. When he awakens, he finds himself caught in the midst of a bureacratic foul-up that has sentenced an innocent man to death while allowing an underground terrorist to continue subverting the "status quo." Lowry becomes entangled with the elusive Archibald Tuttle while attempting to settle the affairs of the now-deceased Archibald Buttle, which leads him to discovering that the woman of his dreams is very much a reality. It is then up to Sam to save this mysterious woman when she becomes the next unwitting victim of a government gone mad!

    BRAZIL is one of Terry Gilliam's finest films, and one whose social significance is perhaps more relevant now than ever before in an age where information and accessibility have taken such a prevalent role in our daily lives. Many of the darker themes involving the government's oppression of its people are broken up by Gilliam's light-hearted humor. We take great joy in laughing at the absurdity on screen, while recognizing that BRAZIL is as much a black comedy as it is a sad reflection of our own bitter reality. The talented cast is led by Jonathan Pryce as our reluctant hero, Sam, who is thrust into a world of political upheaval despite all of his efforts to remain unnoticed. Pryce is wonderful in the role, as he is able to point out the lunacy of all that surrounds him with a range of frustrated looks and snide remarks. He is joined by Robert De Niro and Katherine Helmond in leading roles, with brilliant appearances by Ian Holm, Bob Hoskins, and Ian Richardson as government busybodies who try desperately to uphold a system that is falling apart around them. The incredible production design imagines a future in which the technology has become terribly outdated, where tiny computer screens are viewed through gigantic magnifying glasses and ugly metal ducts protrude from every building in the name of "efficiency." It is no wonder that Sam chooses to dream of the open country when he is locked inside the cold, cement prison walls of the city.

    Bleak and depressing, yet utterly entertaining at the same time, Terry Gilliam captures the perils of a not-too-distant future with clever wit and satire. BRAZIL is essential viewing for any film fan, and a unique experience that is unlike any other.
