About this movie

Sam Lowry is a harried technocrat in a futuristic society that is completely convoluted and inefficient. In his fantasy he dreams of a life where he can escape from the overpowering bureaucracy and spend eternity with the woman of his dreams. The unlikely happens while Sam is trying to rectify the wrongful arrest of one Harry Tuttle; the omnipresent computer that controls everything in the "real" world malfunctions. When this happens, Harry literally meets the woman he is always chasing in his dreams, Jill Layton. However, the mechanical bureaucracy has fingered him for a rash of terrorist bombings, and both Sam and Jill's lives are put in danger.

Ratings and reviews

Un premonitorio alegato de la implicancia que tendría en el siglo siguiente la interconexión e interacción on line con el poder subyacente sobre una sociedad pseudo libre pero sumisa de las tendencias sociales o culturales que atrofian la vida comunitaria sumergida en un submundo de insatisfacción e infelicidad crónica

Brazil tämän hetken tuolla puolen on tämän hetken tuolla puolen siitä jää ikävä trauma outo elokuva.
