Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring daydream of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel. Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle, he meets the woman from his daydream, and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies.
Editor's Verdict
"While the film shares some superficial thematic overlap with holiday narratives (a desire for escape and romance), 'Brazil' is fundamentally a dystopian science fiction satire. The plot, setting, and iconography do not meaningfully incorporate Christmas or the holiday season in any substantial way, placing it firmly outside the Christmas movie genre."
