One of the most nightmarish, bleak, but brilliant films about the future.

Someone should make a movie about the drama surrounding the release of Brazil.

  My dream is to become a filmmaker. That would be a wonderful idea.

This is a good documentary, but Mathews's book about Gilliam's struggle with Universal to get his version of the film released is even better. As a bonus, it even includes the film's screenplay. No Brazilophile is complete without it.

I'm never warmed to Brazil; don't know why. I certainly don't think it's a bad film. But I love Gilliam he's an inspiration.

I was lucky to see this on the big screen when it was released. There were four people in the theater and one couple walked out. My friend and I were reaching for the stars on some primo bud having a wonderful time until around 30 minutes in. Allow me to state the obvious: Brazil is not a film to view whilst under the influence of a substance that can possibly alter time perception and induce paranoia. By the way there is a brilliant documentary in the supplements of Tideland (my personal Gilliam fave) that is almost as frustrating to watch as Lost in La Mancha.
