Has anyone seen the movie Brazil?  I read a review of it in
Newsweek last spring and then saw it while I was in Amsterdam in
May.  The Hollander next to me said that he didn't think that it
would be released in the US because somebody thought it was too
weird for our tastes.  I thought it was great.  (I also thought it
was rather weird.)  It was a combination of surrealistic
extrapolation of 1950's ideals, larger than life images as found in
nightmares, and satire of the real life atrocities of peoples numbness
toward other people's plights.  Actually, it was a fun movie
(although mildly haunting).

I certainly hope that the Hollander was wrong and that we will see
this, what I believe to be British, film in the States.
