REVIEWS

Review by seabrainiac (posted on 23-May-2005)

This is one of the few films that survived both my initial enthusiasm and my re-viewing several years later. That we can see the end coming in no way diminishes the impact, even as the lead character slowly realizes what will be his own end. The appearance of a dirty, imprisoned, desolate, uncertain and not always technologically functional future is the downside of Gilliam's future envisioned in "Brazil" - if you could call Brazil's future an upside by comparison.
