I agree, this is Terry Gilliam's masterpiece
“I like Terry Gilliam, I appreciate his style and I like his films. As much as I am fond of Time Bandits and The Adventures of Baron Manchausen, two childhood favourites, and also Twelve Monkeys, I consider Brazil Gilliam's masterpiece.
On a visual and technical level, Brazil is outstanding. The cinematography and effects are well and truly exemplary, as is the make up, but I loved the authentic sound and the genuine atmosphere Brazil exuded.
Michael Kamen is a composer that I have a lot of respect for, and Brazil is no exception. His score is both of beautiful and haunting quality and really helps to enhance the atmosphere.

“Assisti Brazil, que recomendei antes, o filme é sobre um mundo distópico e burocrático onde tudo é feito através da papelada e pela autorização do estado que controla tudo, algo parecido com 1984, é um universo bem cyber punk meio que um precursor de blade runner(que também recomendo) mas esse filme também aborda o tema do escapismo, todo o simbolismo do protagonista se imaginar como um herói que salva o mundo é algo bem diferenciado de outras obras sobre ditaduras, nesse o protagonista é bem mais identificável porque ele está de mãos atadas, ele não pode fazer nada pra mudar a situação, ele vive sem esperanças em um apartamento apertado e sem vida, até que ele tenta fazer algo ajudando uma mulher da resistência contra o governo mas ele acaba se dando mau e é pego, ” read more
