I love Terry Gilliam! His MP animations were great, and Brazil is awesome, pure Kafka! And Metropolis.
Did you ever see the Python skit where an Englishman bought a refrigerator, and a bureaucrat came to his door, telling him he needed to measure the kitchen before it could be plugged in? Then a bureaucrat came behind him and told him he needed to examine the hinges of the refrigerator before it could be used, then a bureaucrat came behind HIM with another clipboard and form to fill out, testing the guy’s electrical plugs, then behind him, another bureaucrat.
Then the camera pulled back, slowly, showing a line of hundreds and hundreds of bureaucrats lined up outside the guy’s door, each carrying a clipboard and another form to fill out and sign...it was hilarious!
