I saw Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil” in a movie theatre when it first came out, almost twenty years ago. I remember thinking it was exciting and pretty funny. B and I saw it again tonight at home. This time I thought it was terrifying. In 2004 it’s no longer “retro future.”
Another big surprise: Jonathan Pryce is really cute as Sam Lowry. I didn’t remember that.
