I have written a paper on Gilliam's BRAZIL, 1984, bureaucratic entrophy and the post-histoire. There may be some affinities to 12 MONKEYS I argue that apocalyptic thinking posits a problem for both utopia and dystopia (and various other things). The collection of essays is edited by PAUL GOETSCH/BERND SCHEUNEMANN.The title is TEXT UND TON IM FILM. The paper's title is "'The Lord of the Files'-Carnivalizing Dystopia" Should be out soon. I'm German, but the paper is in English.
