    This masterly adaptation of George Orwells chilling parable about totalitarian oppression gives harrowing cinematic expression to the books bleak prophetic vision. 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 Radfords 1984 conjures a dystopian vision of postwar Britain as fascistic nightmare a world all too recognizable as our own.
