The lines between fantasy and reality blur in these three films featuring mind-bending visuals and twisty plots. Sweet Dreams: Three Films Where Dreams Come True!

September 3: Brazil

In Terry Gilliam's surreal Kafka-esque Brazil, low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring fantasy of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel.

Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest of an innocent man -- instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle (Robert De Niro) -- he meets the woman from his dreams (Kim Greist), and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies.

"It's like a stoned, slapstick 1984: a nightmare comedy in which the comedy is just an aspect of the nightmarishness." —Pauline Kael, New Yorker

Directed by Terry Gilliam

Starring Jonathan Pryce, Kim Griest, Robert De Niro, Katherine Helmond, Bob Hoskins, Iam Holm
