100 Years of Dystopia Series Episode 7

Welcome to the Team!

Director Terry Gilliam (12 Monkeys) takes a vacation from his day job drawing cartoons for Monty Python’s Flying Circus to explore the equally absurd antics of 1980s corporate culture in dystopian farce Brazil. Can nebbish bean counter Jonathan Pryce ignore a clerical error that led to the arrest, torture, and death of an innocent man?  Or will he transform into the winged warrior of his dreams, and fight the system alongside A/C repairman Robert DeNiro and trucker Kim Griest?  No need for all that paperwork. Get the answers when you Donate for Gold Level.
