Today I shall be rewatching my all-time favourite film: Terry Gillian’s Brazil. Here are some screenshots that highlight the gorgeous imagery from this film.pic.twitter.com/aKl0QXHs1C
The rage of the office drone unleashed. Protagonist Sam Lowry in his dream-like state.pic.twitter.com/UCsMsDReU0
The use of retro-technology was amazing. The Messerschmitt KR 175 showed Brazil’s cars as a means of imprisonment as well as transportation.pic.twitter.com/705GOV6MBg
The Ministry of Information Retrieval. Beautiful use of Art Deco to illustrate brutalist architectural oppressionpic.twitter.com/dDMbF6FtWr
A lot of the imagery owed a huge debt to German Expressionism.pic.twitter.com/aIGWiLWgks
The iconic torture chamber final scenes were shot in a disused power station. I’ve never seen better set location before or since.pic.twitter.com/MNRumf2WwV
Another of Sam’s lurid dream sequences. An electro samurai standing atop the detritus of obsolete technology, consumerism and religion.pic.twitter.com/lSXjILXU5z
Sam’s narcissistic mother: ever in pursuit of youth and beauty at the expense of her son’s future. Apt metaphor for the boomer generation.pic.twitter.com/7T72yYCvDu
The film was sprinkled with wonderfully unrealistic propaganda posters. This slogan was actually later used by the Conservative Party as part of its austerity programme.pic.twitter.com/oo9KEv7mWA
Sam Lowry, after severe torture, finally succumbs to madness - but it’s a happy escape from the real dystopia around him.pic.twitter.com/517JJnKT7p
A highly recommended film and one I discover new things about with every rewatch. Merry Christmas!pic.twitter.com/bpsJNARvGl
