Saturday, February 25, 9:45 pm

Terry Gilliam's magnificently imaginative vision of a totalitarian future is both funny and shocking in its absurdist view of everyday life under a shadowy but painfully inept Big Brother. Jonathan Pryce and Robert De Niro star. Gilliam and Tom Stoppard received Oscar nominations for their script, and the film's powerful, proto-steampunk, imagery earned an art direction nomination. DIR/SCR Terry Gilliam; SCR Tom Stoppard and Charles McKeown; PROD Arnon Milchan. UK, 1985, color, 131 min. RATED R
