BRAZIL

USA | 1985 | DCP | 143 min.
Director: Terry Gilliam
Cast: Jonathan Pryce, Robert De Niro, Michael Palin

Gilliam’s surrealist masterpiece evokes both George Orwell and Monty Python for a devastatingly funny satire set “somewhere in the 20th century.” Jonathan Pryce stars as humble clerk Sam Lowry, who works for a massive, faceless bureaucratic organization and daydreams of another life. Robert DeNiro co-stars as a freelance plumber deemed a terrorist by the state who brings Sam into a world that almost matches his fantasies. The great supporting cast includes Gilliam’s fellow Pythonite Michael Palin, Ian Holm, Jim Broadbent, and Bob Hoskins. A brand new 4K restoration of Gilliam’s director’s cut will be presented in honor of Brazil’s 40th anniversary.
