Scifi of the Day

Brazil (1985)

Terry Gilliam’s masterpiece of absurdist dystopia, Brazil is about a lowly office worker in a future city riddled by terrorists and ruled by bureaucrats. He just wants to spend his days dreaming about being a ninja who rescues a damsel in distress — until he meets the damsel in real life, discovers she’s a subversive truck driver, and is plunged into a nightmare of love and political repression. Full of the bizarre imagery that made Gilliam famous during his Monty Python animator days, Brazil will warp your mind and break your heart.
