A event held at The Cube on Sunday 21st December. The event starts at 17:00.
Christmas Turkeys: Brazil
Dir. Terry Gilliam, 1985, USA, 137 mins, Cert: 15
Sun 21st December
Tickets £5
Set in the not-so-distant future, the tale takes place in an unnamed city where nothing works right and terrorist bombings are an everyday nuisance. Our hero is Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce), an ordinary guy who’s determined to stay ordinary, dreading the day when someone will try to promote him above his humdrum job in the Department of Records. Sam’s only escape from the dullness of his life comes in his dreams, where he’s a winged superhero battling forces of darkness and saving a lovely woman in distress. And Christmas is everywhere.
Hailed by critics but misunderstood by Hollywood, the initial release was marked by poor box office performance due to studio interference, now considered a dystopian and satirical classic.
Entry requirements: 16+
