Terry Gilliam’s Brazil is a grotesque retro-future dark comedy that takes parodying the police state to surrealistic magnitudes. Terrorizing society with terrorism scares, the government robs individuals of all personal liberties and rights to privacy. Totalitarian order is executed by the machines.
