In a rubble-strewn surveillance state where an endless overseas war props up the repressive regime of the all-seeing Big Brother, and all dissent is promptly squashed, a profoundly alienated citizen, Winston Smith (thrillingly played by John Hurt), risks everything for an illicit affair with the rebellious Julia (Suzanna Hamilton) in a defiant assertion of humanity in the face of soul-crushing conformity. Through vividly grim production design and expressionistically desaturated cinematography by Roger Deakins, Michael Radford's 1984 conjures a dystopian vision of postwar Britain as fascistic nightmare a world all too recognizable as our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarring: John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton, Cyril Cusack, Gregor Fisher, James Walker, Andrew Wilde, David Trevena, David Cann, Anthony Benson\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49071840133394,"sku":"715515232319","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3664237.jpg?v=1715273224","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/1984-criterion-collection-dvd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
