Brazil (1985) starring Jonathan Pryce, Robert De
Niro, Michael
Palin, Kim
Greist, Katherine
Helmond, Ian
Holm. At the beginning of "Brazil," a card proclaims that it takes place "Somewhere in the 20
th Century." Where that could be, it scarcely matters. But it seems to take place in an alternate universe where '30s styles prevailed and where technology advanced in a wacky way. And where fascism prevailed. It's a darkly funny fantasy which ultimately doesn't quite work, but it's a fun ride if you're in the right mood.
Grade: B+
