It's onlyia state of mind.
Brazil is a surrealistic nightmare vision of a "perfect" future where technology reigns supreme. Everyone is monitored by a secret government that forbids love to interfere with efficiency.
Jonathon Price and Robert DeNiro star with Michael Palin in this chilling black comedy directed by former Monty Python Member Terry Gilliam.
When a daydreaming bureaucrat becomes unwittingly involved with an underground superhero and a beautiful mystery woman, he becomes the tragic victim of his own romantic illusions.
This offbeat fantasy blends biting humor with an unforgettable gettable look at a delightfully dastardly tomorrow.

A Nightmarish Vision of a Retro-Future - 4.25 out of 5 (7/20/1999)
Film: One of the great satiric films of the late 20th century, "Brazil" portrays a paperwork obsessed, fiercely regulated future filled with drear. The film is filled with symbolic elements which create the central story line--a man's dreams are his only escape from an oppressive world where every aspect of life has a form to go along with it, where travesties of justice are ignored or unloaded upon others, where the atrocities of society are glossed over with euphemistic billboards.

Gilliam gets better with every movie - 4 out of 5 (11/27/1998)
...and Brazil is a brilliant example. Take a former
Monty Python member, add a bureaucratic nightmare straight
out of Orwell, add Robert Deniro in a bizarre role and
you've got Brazil.
Gillaim has proven with each film that he is truly a
director to be reckoned with. From Time Bandits to
Twelve Monkeys, he has demonstrated a unique visual
flair which was evident in his early Python animations.
His dark imagery works especially well with Jonathan
Pryce fighting against the ultimate

Great movie, good DVD - 4.25 out of 5 (11/17/1998)
While this DVD isn't loaded with extras you do get an excellent transfer. The video is top notch and the audio is well done. It also has the extended ending which I believe can only be found on this disc and the SE laserdisc. Widescreen adds a great deal to the lush visuals. If you saw this on VHS and liked it it is well worth the money, just to see it in it's original presentation.
