I saw that movie again recently and it’s still terrific (especially Robert De Niro as, of all things, a commando plumber): [Brazil (1985) - Jonathan Pryce as Sam Lowry - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088846/characters/nm0000596) I did Sallah in a previous Botticelli round, as it happens. ---

Cool. After all these years I still haven’t gotten around to seeing the original cut. I saw the 132 minute US theatrical cut twice in its original run. Decided against watching the Shienberg cut when it was on TV a few years later. Next up… **L** ---
