BRAZIL - DIRECTOR'S CUT
Special Features: New 4K Restoration
Terry Gilliam’s magnificently imaginative vision of a totalitarian future is both funny and shocking in its absurdist view of everyday life under a shadowy but painfully inept Big Brother. Low-ranking bureaucrat Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) copes with his soul-crushing job by daydreaming that he is a winged hero who saves a damsel in distress. When Sam investigates a case that led to the wrongful arrest and death of an innocent man instead of suspected terrorist Archibald Tuttle (Robert De Niro), he winds up on a twisted journey where he meets the literal woman of his dreams — all while facing head-on the dysfunctional world in which he lives. Gilliam and Tom Stoppard received Oscar® nominations for their script, as did the wonderfully intricate art direction by Norman Garwood and Maggie Gray.
