Where was Brazil filmed?

1985 dystopian film by Terry Gilliam

Brazil (1985) was filmed in Paris, Noisy-le-Grand and Espaces d'Abraxas, 3 places named in its Wikipedia article's Production design section, in France. Wikidata records no filming location for it at all, so the article is the only recorded source. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

Places per Wikipedia's Production design section

Wikipedia’s Production design section names 3 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• Noisy-le-Grand France

  “Some of the postmodern architecture in the commune has been used as a shooting location in movies including Brazil and The Hunger Games.” Wikipedia
