Dir. Terry Gilliam
1985 | United Kingdom | R
Runtime: 2 hours, 22 min

Dystopian masterpiece Brazil follows Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce), a government employee who escapes monotony through daydreams of himself as a winged hero rescuing a beautiful woman. When a clerical error leads to the wrongful arrest of an innocent man instead of wanted rogue Harry Tuttle (Robert De Niro), Lowry tries to fix the mistake and in the process, meets the woman from his dreams (Kim Greist)—pulling them both deeper into a bureaucratic web of mindless red tape and mistaken identities.

Featuring Maureen A. Ryan, Co-Concentration Head of Creative Producing, Professor of Professional Practice, Film.
