Brazil (1985), Directed by Terry Gilliam. 4k restoration. 2hr 22min.

This cautionary tale by Terry Gilliam, one of the great films of the 1980s, has come to be esteemed alongside antitotalitarian works by authors such as George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Kurt Vonnegut. And in terms of set design, cinematography, music, and effects, Brazil is a nonstop dazzler. (Criterion Collection)

Part of PAM CUT @ The Whitsell’s inaugural film series, Maximalist Dreamscapes. These bold, visionary films don’t just show what is—they construct alternate possibilities, expand the perception of the world, and open portals to entirely new dimensions.
