Brazil at IFC Center
Terry Gilliam’s status as a madcap visionary isn’t always a flattering proposition, because sometimes his movies are so frenetic they get away from him. Gilliam’s 1985 sci-fi masterpiece Brazil rides on that razor’s edge of coherence, but his view of our dystopian future is darkly funny and scarily plausible. In an Orwellian future where the people are controlled by the state, Jonathan Pryce is a technocrat forced to wade through a hopelessly outdated and bloated bureaucracy to find clues to a mistaken-identity case. Pryce’s efforts to spring an entirely innocent man lead him deeper and deeper down a rabbit hole of his own.
