Brazil

A Japanese B5 movie flyer issued in 1986 for Terry Gilliam’s Brazil (1985). One double-sided paper sheet, with atmospheric artwork on the front and Japanese film information and theatrical screening details on the reverse.

The front brings several images together: Sam Lowry’s face caught in cold blue light, shadowed architecture, and a faint female face emerging near the top. A turquoise handwritten “Brazil” contrasts with the tall gold Japanese tagline, while the bold white-and-yellow title, 未来世紀ブラジル, anchors the lower edge.

Turn the sheet over and the mood changes. Black-and-white film stills accompany densely arranged Japanese commentary, cast and crew credits, and production information. At the bottom, a theatrical notice announces early-October screenings at Yurakucho Subaru-za in Tokyo, complete with admission prices and showtimes.

The contrast is striking: a dreamlike composition on one side, the practical details of a Japanese cinema release on the other.
