The film has a large overbearing surveillance state / bureaucracy as the chief antagonist, it’s about the suppression of art and loss of human connection. Do you see it differently?
It’s directed by Terry Gilliam, and it’s brilliant. It’s set in a bureaucratic totalitarian state, and follows a minor functionary who is slowly losing his mind. There are multiple overlapping plots, involving a rebel heating engineer, a man mistakenly abducted and tortured to death by the government after a computer glitch, the functionary’s politically ambitious mother, a quack plastic surgeon, a beautiful truck driver, terrorist attacks, and the functionary’s ever-growing escapist fantasy life. It’s one of my favorite films. Right up there with Delicatessen in terms of dystopian comedy sci-fi.
