MCT:May 10, 2008My favorite and what I consider Terry Gilliam?s masterpiece. This bizarre sci-fi is centered around Sam Lowry, a dreamer, and also a bit of stickler for paper work. This film is laced with great satirical messages about current events which are still quite a bit relatable now. There is plastic surgery (Sam?s mother), the big paper machine that is the government?s red tape, and there is even technology to make fun of here. Jonathan Pryce is perfect as the jittery lead who develops a backbone, and then there is the wonderful Bob DeNiro who has a nice and funny small role. It has a nice ensemble of Gilliam actors as well including Ian Holm, Michael Palin, and Jim Broadbent. Be warned don?t get confused with the studio altered version the one with a happy ending. You want the original director?s cut which is quite a bit more haunting.

MCT:May 4, 2008Underlying plot is very interesting but there are a lot of dream scenes that I couldn't care less about.. Plus, it aged very badly making it hard to not laugh at times. The concept of the film is great but badly presented. If you are into weird stuff, you must see this! I did not regret to see it but I just expected more.

Just stunning. If you have grown tired of the heavy-handed, overly-serious dystopian sci-fi movie, this is a breath of fresh air.

MCT:April 30, 2008This one warped my mind when my brother showed it to me back in like '86. Not a good film for 8 year olds.

MCT:April 27, 2008Quite creative and entertaining. The ample emphasis on technology dates this unfavorably. Great story about a bureaucratic dystopia.
