This is probably Terry Gilliam's most famous work. Hilarious and tragic, bizarre and fantastic. A nightmare world of a retro-future information explosion.

It has the usual manic feeling of chaos prevalent in Gilliam's work, along with an over abundance of wide angles filled with great production design. And still every time I watch it I always pick up something new. I wish I had it in HD.

I love that this huge story is all a chain reaction from a small fly. One man in the middle of a bureaucratic nightmare, justing trying to find the girl of his dreams and inadvertently becoming an enemy of the state. It's a great cast and funny script, you can certainly hear Tom Stoppard's dialogue come through in places.

It was great to watch through this monumental film again, a film who's troubled release is almost as famous as the film itself. It's a masterpiece.
