Puzzle Description:

Ida Lowry preparing for plastic surgery in the movie Brazil.

She was creepier looking with stretch marks in her cheeks, but that was nearly unsolvable!

I want to watch this movie now, thanks Arduinna, and thanks for this challenging puzzle, it is completely solvable with logic, some edge logic was helpful, I love it! :)

You should watch it! It's my favorite Terry Gilliam movie-- it's fantastic!

I've never seen this movie but you've all definitely peeked my interest. Thanks - good puzzle.

Terry Gilliam makes films that feel like something I would like, except that I don't. I like a lot of his "Adventures of Baron von Munchausen" but very little of "Brazil".

Nice puzzle though. Very nearly the last image I'd have expected to find in a pbn puzzle.

It's oddly pleasing to have made very nearly the last image you'd have expected to find in a pbn puzzle, Jan!

I like Baron von Munchausen. It unravels a bit by the end, but if you're willing to just go with it, I think it's worth it. Time Bandits is also interesting, but a bit too preachy. I suppose a lot of Gilliam's movies are a bit preachy, and that might be the least appealing thing about Brazil to me. But I love the whole normal-guy-caught-in-bureaucracy thing. All the things that seem so excessively crazy reflect the real craziness in life. The plastic surgery looks very painful, and Ida's friend goes to the "acid man" (!), but it's really not that far removed from what people actually do to themselves. I also think that the main actor (I don't remember his name, but he's the dad in Pirates of the Carribean) does a wonderful job. He breaks my heart!

Sorry to go on! I taught this in my English class last semester. A lot of the kids hated it. But I think I made a few fans!

I thought it was going to be Wednesday Addams, but once I got her left cheek and hand, I knew exactly who it was!
