Episode 264 - Brazil
from Uncut Gems Podcast · host Uncut Gems Podcast
In this episode of the show we are exploring the maximalist dystopia directed by Terry Gilliam, Brazil. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us carefully retrace the complicated history of how Brazil came together, how it was a nightmare to release in the US and how it became a cult classic despite meddling from studio moguls. We also talk about Gilliam's signature kitchen sink approach to visual storytelling as we try to wrap our heads around the many nuances and facets of the narrative. We wonder if Sam Lowry is more of a Josef K. or a Winston Smith character, pontificate over the question if the movie has a happy ending after all and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Ian SchultzHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!
