Brazil

“I remember seeing a trailer for Brazil in the cinema, and it was like nothing I'd ever seen. To me, Brazil has everything: it's funny, horrible, elegant, and messy.”

Ben Wheatley

Director, Writer

“When I first saw Brazil in the late '80s, it hit me like a truck. It was such a powerful, bold vision, so joyous in its escapism and so crushing in its ultimate nihilism, that it left my teenage mind in tatters. I wasn't quite sure what I'd watched but knew it was unlike anything I'd seen before.”

Edgar Wright

Director, Producer, Writer

“For our little group of starving filmmaker friends muddling through our twenties, this particular box set was sort of a holy grail. Terry Gilliam's filmmaking has been a massive influence on me—the joy of visual invention in his movies and the endless inventiveness.”

Rian Johnson

Director, Writer

“I can't tell you how many times I've pitched something and said, "It's like if Terry Gilliam directed ____." I fell in love with this film and those of Jean-Pierre Jeunet while I was in film school at Northwestern.”

Zach Braff

Actor, Director, Producer, Writer

“Terry Gilliam's masterpiece proves he is the only true heir to Fellini (and Salvador Dalì as well). Brazil is over-the-top, terrifying, funny, and moving. It has one of the most crushing and haunting endings in movie history.”

Michael Imperioli

Actor, Writer

“It's so inventive it's 1984 esque it's dystopian it's anti-capitalist it's anti-commercialism it is a masterpiece of rebellion and of insanity.”

Andrew Garfield

Actor

“Terry's imagination is so vast, and this is like one of the many examples of 'Oh, it's a science fiction dystopic satire set in the future'—you know what? This is happening. You have to watch this.”

Gina Gershon

Actor

“This is great. I love this movie.”
