Anyone here interested in this? Granted Gilliam has been behind some stinkers in recent years, but this looks like it could be a glorious return to form, this clip is just oozing with with the charm that "Brazil", his best film imho, had.

I'm still waiting for "Brazil 2: The Revenge of the Samurai"

Always interested in the Gilliam.

Christoph Waltz playing something other than the villain is an interesting thing onto itself.

Looks good!

Of all his films, I think I like Brazil and Twelve Monkeys the most and this looks as interesting as they were.

Both are excellent movies (and if you want a really depressing evening, watch Brazil and Blue Velvet back to back). I also like The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and The Fisher King.

I thought Terry had a heart attack and died while doing animation for "The Holy Grail".

I only ever saw 3 of this guy's movies - 12 Monkeys(Which I really liked), The Brothers Grimm(which I kinda liked) and the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus( kinda stupid) . Never saw Brazil tho, is it good ?

Brazil is his masterpiece.

12 Monkeys and Brazil are probably his only two films which can be called "great", most of his offers were so-so or mediocre. But the guy does have a particular style to his direction which is completely unlike any other director, for better or worse, which is why I think his stuff is worth following.

I saw Brazil, on video, as a kid. An even younger friend of mine came to me and said he had a movie he didn't understand and I went all "Pfft! You can't understand a stupid movie? They're not that complex."

...


To this day, Brazil is like a trauma to me. The one film I couldn't understand jack shit. Why the hell did the air conditioner repairman drop in the way he did? It was so freaking weird. I also remember a scene in a restaurant where some kind of explosion went up and people kept on eating after getting startled at first, while the restaurant people tried to cover up the mess and... that's pretty much it. Those two scenes are the only remains of Brazil in my head and the notion that it's a very weird, incomprehensible movie. I should test it against my adulthood to see if I can make some sense out of it now.

You gotta face your traumas in order to beat them.

Brazil is still my favourite movie by Terry Gilliam. The problem is that there are no clear answers to you questions. Somewhere during the movie the main character looses his mind, but you can't be sure when it happens. Maybe he was crazy the whole time and everything you saw was just an imagination of his twisted mind.

Looking really forward to see the new movie. Don't think it will be as good as his old movies as it isn't an original script, but I hope for a positive surprise.

He was a (more or less) good guy in Django Unchained.

Right, I forgot. I like the guy but I hate Tarantino so I haven't watched that one yet.
I thought he only went crazy at the end. The air conditioner repairman and the explosion are just part of that world. One is just someone rebelling against bureaucracy, and it's part of the joke that he's played kinda like a superhero and he's so hunted by the government when in the end he's doing something as banal as fixing air conditioners, he just does it outside the system. And the explosion, I think other terrorist attacks were mentioned in the movie before, and when it happens on screen we see how commonplace it has become by the way people don't even react to it.

De Niro pleaded for a bigger part than that but Gilliam wouldn't budge. :D
