Film Series: Brazil

1985. UK. Dir: Terry Gilliam. With Jonathan Pryce. 132 min. 35mm print.

 

A sheepish government peon with grand romantic dreams attempts to correct a simple paperwork error only to find himself hurled into a treacherous world of terrorism, torture, and plastic surgery. Elaborate production design, hysterical performances and manically kinetic direction mark a fantastical satire of bureaucracy gone wrong.

Film Series: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

1975. UK. Dir: Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones. With Graham Chapman. 91 min.

 

In the British comedy crew’s glorious spoof on Arthurian lore, incompetent knights, killer rabbits, and shrubbers abound as King Arthur & Co. embark on their absurdly ill-fated quest. You might feel tempted to die of laughter, but you’ll be fine – it’s just a flesh wound.
