This is your receipt for your husband... and this is my receipt for your receipt.

Brazil (1985).

I don't think you could ever really get a definitive answer on what the general consensus of Brazil is. Some find it to be a hilarious satire of the bureaucratic system whilst others see it as a terrifying, Orwellian-esque depiction of the future. For me, it falls somewhere in the middle, and is without doubt the greatest British sci fi flick ever written.

"Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy."

- Franz Kafka.
