I LOVED DR. PARNASSUS for all the reasons Terry mentioned. It's very much a positive amalgamation of almost everything he's done, also narratively and technically it's very well crafted and beautiful to watch. Been a big fan ever since having my mind blown in 86 after viewing an early screening of Brazil. From Munchausen, my two favorites Fisher KIng & 12 Monkeys to the great Fear & Loathing to Tideland.
Terry Gilliam is absolutely one of my favorite directors ever. I always feel like his work is ahead of its time. Thank you for being you Sir. Your movies live in my head rent free.
I just watched Fisher King again after many years. It’s one of my favorites too. Jeff Bridges was so great in it. All the actors are but it’s one of my favorite Jeff Bridges.
Love "12 Monkeys", thought about that one when the pandemic started. Münchhausen, Time Bandits, Lost in La Mancha, love them. If he had directed Harry Potter then maybe I would have liked it.
Nothing wrong with quirky so long as the film makes you think and most importantly, feel. I like Gilliam’s films so much (most of them, anyway) because they do both. And I love the visual quirkiness and atmospherics, too.
Terry is an acquired taste that hasn't aged too well. He sure has had a "hit or miss" track record. His films seem like clever eye candy and star vanity projects with a little gut punch of messaging sprinkled in somewhere in the film. Of course, the old me doesn't see anything the same as the 1980's-90's pot smoking wanna-be-intellectual me. Of course I'd love to see another Brazil. I was so amped about Zero Theorem until I saw it and found it to be a bit of a muddled mess. Maybe in late career he could make one more gem like a perfectly aged bottle of cognac.
Well, I heartily disagree but to each his own. His best films seem to age quite well and are moving and original. They also seem to gather new audiences. But his track record isn’t perfect. Whose is?
this is what makes me sad about the latest generation of people, who have always had high speed internet since the day they were born, and they can't possibly even really imagine a world without it. So how are the latest generation of people supposed to behave when they have been got since day one.....indoctrinated by tech....its bad enough for me, born mid eighties, glued to screens, thinking that that's reality....
hes wrong at end , he needs see how real cg can be...now wiht literally my 10 year old pc ...see , the future always comes from those , that find the way to use the tools they have tobring life to what it is they envision.

Thank you Terry for being you. Brazil changed my life.
How?
Terry Gilliam is my favorite director ever. He is a genius of visual arts. Brilliant!!!
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassas is one of my favorite films of all time.
The Fisher King Is One Of My All Time Favourite Movies.
I just watched Fisher King again after many years. It’s one of my favorites too. Jeff Bridges was so great in it. All the actors are but it’s one of my favorite Jeff Bridges.
"technology is not ultimately why we go to the movies." it's because of creativity
Thank you Terry . You made me believe in artistry growing up in South Dakota 🌟🌟🌟
Love "12 Monkeys", thought about that one when the pandemic started. Münchhausen, Time Bandits, Lost in La Mancha, love them.

Interesting doc that provides some helpful insight into Mr. Gilliam and his work. Thank you for sharing this, 3DD and Little Dot.
This is from 2010.
Although he might be a bit too quirky for some people, I've always found Mr. Gilliam's work to be interesting and enjoyable.
Especially his animations in Monty Python.

Genius....love❤
Genuine Mind 🥰

I love his work in Monty Python his work in Monty Python is very underrated.
His work is nauseating in an appealing way.
So far You have a miss or miss track record...

I heard he’s been living in England since the 80s. Surprised he hasn’t picked up an accent yet. Love this guy
