Brazil (1985)
The perfect satire
Gilliam is not a director that appeals to everyone (I can clearly see why this is) but if you are open-minded enough and agree to be taken in a wild ride, then Brazil is the film for you. It is a satire of our modern day world and its meaningless bureaucracy. Some would argue that the film is too long and even boring at times but I would have to disagree, every scene in this movie is packed with amazing imagery and symbolism as well as an insane plot which will keep you interested at all times. If there is someone that knows how to do comedy/satire of this sort its Gilliam, I am even willing to say this is one of the best satires ever created.
After you finish the movie you are left with an eerie feeling that I cant exactly describe, it is as if the world you live in is just as mad as the one in Brazil and the routine you follow is slowly driving you crazy. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone that is a fan of good cinema and is willing to be submerged in the crazy mind of Terry Gilliam.
