Brazil

Dystopia is about a world where electricians, plumbers, and ventilation workers rule over people. As a result of a clerical error at the Ministry of Information, the life of another almost identical clerk is irreversibly changed. Once flying only in his dreams, he falls in love with a rough girl mistakenly declared a terrorist and unexpectedly becomes an enemy of the state himself.

The idea came to Terry Gilliam in an industrial city when he saw coal dust settling on the beach. He imagined a guy sitting on the shore and imagining himself in a truly heavenly place to the randomly caught radio tune "Aquarela do Brasil." It is this song that gave the film its name; Gilliam's dystopia has nothing to do with Brazil.

The film was supposed to come out symbolically in 1984 (the influence of Orwell's novel is quite obvious). But it was only released a year later, due to disagreements with Universal. The producer insisted on a happy ending, but the director did not give in. As a result, the film was released in two versions (of course, we will watch the director's cut).
