Synopsis

If George Orwell had worked with Monty Python he might have envisioned a future as bleak and comical as this. Co-written by Gilliam and Tom Stoppard this prescient look at a totalitarian surveillance state is leavened by Gilliam's surreal humour and bizarre vision. Considered by many to be Gilliam's masterpiece and one of the best films of the 1980's. (This screening will be introduced by Salon-member and Professor of International Relations, David Chandler).
