A wonderful satire of bureaucratic cancer, more relevant today than ever, given the propensity of my current government to absorb once independent industries and install their ductwork into every facet.

As Harry Tuttle, the last true entrepreneur, is ultimately destroyed by mandatory paperwork, so self-employed doctors will be forced into retirement by too much government interference. I can see the vision of this film affecting the world around me on a daily basis, from plastic surgery to the media to the death of independent thought, works like Brazil (like 1984 before it) are important reminders of the dangers of these bureaucratic encroachments; their inefficiencies and illogic.
