Brazil



Sam Lowry: 
I only know you got the wrong man. 

Jack Lint:
Information Transit got the wrong man. I got the *right* man. The wrong one was delivered to me as the right man, I accepted him on good faith as the right man. Was I wrong? 


Terry Gilliam's brilliant masterpiece 'Brazil' is being re-released in Blu-Ray. I now know what I want for Christmas!
I just love this film, so prescient of what we now call 'Homeland Security" The madness of bureaucracy, and how it's undermined by simply being human. No CGI, this was made, beautifully, in 1985.
