Where to Watch Brazil
- This is such filmmaking perfection, I've seen this so many times (the first time in 1990 through the BBC Moviedrome series), and each time I find something new that I didn't see before. This is both Gilliam's and Pryces' pinnacles of their careers. The sets, costumes, music, story, cinematography, everything is so utterly brilliant. I also love how it's both funny and frightening... Oh, and what a cast!
- 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.
- Keeps your attention with it's off kilter storyline, and you can see the influence it has had on later films, tv and books. The plotting could benefit from a little more clarity, but there's still a lot here to admire. Strong committed performances allow the absurdity of the story to be sold to the viewer. Edit, spelling.
- I don’t want to give this movie a star rating, because I am not entirely sure what to make of it. I watched it because it is a movie so often referenced and many other movies have clearly copied. Science fiction, dystopian future, fever dreams, anti-corporate propaganda… These are all right up my alley. Unfortunately, because I have watched it in 2025 for the first time in my mid 40s, it may not strike as hard as if I had my first viewing 20-30 years ago. I’ve seen this type of movie a hundred times, I wish this movie had been the first one that I had seen of this genre. Sci-fi and movie buffs alike should watch it, if for nothing else, a frame of reference.
