Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry 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, he meets the woman from his daydream, and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies.

What if David Lynch wrote 1984 as a screenplay and produced the film in 1985? That's Brazil. Brazenly Kafkaesque, darkly hilarious, and chaotically off-kilter in all the right ways. Genuinely a masterpiece, and a seriously fun watch to boot. You can watch this film a dozen times and still spot clever things you've missed before. An instant classic for me.
