Perhaps it is not supposed to be clear; perhaps the movie's air of confusion is part of its paranoid vision. There are individual moments that create sharp images (shock troops drilling through a ceiling, De Niro wrestling with the almost obscene wiring ...read the complete Brazil movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Just as George Orwell's 1984 is an alternate vision of the past, present and future, so "Brazil" is a variation of Orwell's novel. The movie happens in a time and place that seem vaguely like our own, but with different graphics, hardware and politics. So ...read the complete Brazil movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The first time I watched this video was during a tour in Afghanistan and I saw the cover and my intrest was peaked. I enjoy watching a wide range of movies. After watching for the first time Brazil instantly jumped to one of my top 10 all time favorites. ...

Brazil is by far in my opinion director Terry Gilliam's best film to date. To receive this kind of treatment by Criterion is great for anyone who loves this film. The addition of the "Love Conquers All" version of the film is great touch and really ...
