"Sam Lowry "

Brilliam Gilliant

“I saw this film when I was a young teenager and I loved it instantly.

As a Brit the almost all-British cast was particularly good and all were already established and in some cases revered.

Gilliam's pneumatic-tube / post-war-equipment feel with its dingy and idiosyncratic lights, colouring and layout are exquisite and (intentionally) echoed 1984 but with a cartoonish sense.

The entire cast was superb, so many actors I knew and already loved.

This is a film I will always treasure for its visual sumptuousness and the many-layered plot and commentary and the many references it has spawned since.

"I was anticipating finally getting to see this, and I wasn't disapointed. I loved the satire, the humour, the action. Loved the ending most of all."

"The dumbest movie ever made. That is obviously a good thing"

“Get ready for a wild ride. This is one of the most bizzare films of all times. Monty Python meets 1984. The first time I watch this movie I walked out scratching my head and wondering what I had jsut watched. It took another viewing to begin to understand the subtle hidden in the weirdness. Watch it at least twice before you judge it.” read more
