Terry Gilliam's 1984 which will most certainly divide
audiences as a love it/hate it piece of work.
Set in a dystopian future, a civil servant investigates a
clerical error and ends up being an enemy of the state.
Similarities will be made with George Orwell's literary
classic, but Brazil still has enough originality to hold its own, with some stylish visuals, amazing set designs and cruelly funny satire.Â
