There's no doubt Brazil is another proof Terry Gilliam's mind doesn't work quite like the rest of ours. He creates an imaginative  universe on his own terms, and manages to keep spurring our interest with small details. In Brazil he takes us into a dystopian bureaucratic world, filled with creative whimsical inventions as well as old fashioned retro stuff carried on from way back. All stitched together in an impressive way considering it's 25 years since he made this.

I'm not even going to grasp more on the essence of this movie. I'll just say this: Even if Gilliam's kind of movies aren't quite your cup of tea, like it seems it ain't mine, there's still so much to take with you from it. You're not bored, he'll keep your attention with imaginative storytelling and the world he created is worth the runtime alone.
