Edgar says: There are not many film fans that are not profoundly affected after watching ‘Brazil’ for the first time. After scoring a worldwide hit with ‘Time Bandits’, Terry Gilliam spent his box office chit in the most crazily ambitious way possible. ‘Brazil’ is a film so bold and brilliant, that it nearly didn’t see the light of day and was almost regulated to an Orwellian film vault never to reach general audiences. But it escaped, to inspire all who see it.
Edgar says: I saw Delicatessen on its initial release at the age of 17. My teenage mind could barely process this wild debut; brimming with style, bold of palette, mixing black hearted humor with the sweetest comedy. It’s an insane piece of work by two amazing artists, Jeunet & Caro. You’ve seen it ripped off in a million ways, by music video and commercial directors, by my good self and by the directors themselves. See it back on the big screen and applaud one of most influential comedies of the last few decades.
