Brazil is a Terry Gilliam dystopic black comedy film that reflects the melancholy, dreamlike quality of a famous Brazilian song that’s been translated into English. The film parodies the mostly dysfunctional bureaucratic world we live in and takes us to a post-apocalyptic world in the future yet with our present day attitudes in mind.

Story Synopsis:
Brazil is an off-beat, fantastical black comedy that links the director’s “Dreams” trilogy-Time Bandits, Brazil and The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen, Jonathan Pryce stars as Sam Lowry, a man smothered by bureaucracy and led to insanity by bringing his recurring symbolic dreams into the real world.
DVD Picture:
The DVD is not anamorphic, but exhibits images that are generally sharp and detailed. Color fidelity is natural with good definition throughout. The DVD appears pixelized, with apparent artifacts. The picture is properly matted at 1.85:1.
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Surround matrix encoded Dolby Digital soundtrack has an excellent and spacious music score and excellent dialogue spatial integration throughout. Surround envelopment is mostly subtle though often effective.
