“New 40th Anniversary 4K Restoration!

In the dystopian sci-fi masterpiece Brazil, Jonathan Pryce plays a daydreaming everyman worker named Sam Lowry who finds himself caught in the soul-crushing gears of a nightmarish bureaucracy. Sam escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring daydream of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel. Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man, instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle (Robert DeNiro), Sam meets the woman from his daydream, and in trying to help her, he gets caught in a wild web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and bizarre lies. This darkly hilarious cautionary tale by Terry Gilliam, one of the great films of the 1980s, has come to be esteemed alongside anti-totalitarian works by the likes of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Kurt Vonnegut. Featuring mind-blowing set design, cinematography, music, and effects, Brazil is a nonstop dazzler. Also starring Ian Holm, Bob Hoskins, Katherine Helmond and Michael Palin. (Dir. by Terry Gilliam, 1985, UK, 143 mins., Rated R)“
