Fascinating interview, Sonny, can't wait to find the book. I saw Brazil when it came out in 1985, and it has always haunted me, especially over the past several years.

Thanks Helen! Hope you enjoy the book!
(I'll also be buying Brazil on 4K bluray...It's a movie which might hold the record for most versions I've purchased on physical media.)
