Terry Gilliam has a new film out! It is crazy! As usual the eye popping production design and manic wide angles abound. There's a lot about it that recalls Brazil but with a far more existential thematic slant.
However as similar as they are this film lacks the humour that made that film so fun to watch. Although it's equally absurd and has plenty of funny moments, our lead character here and just the general story is pretty dire.
This is a film full of interesting ideas. I just didn't feel it had any conclusive statement to make and the end seemed to peter out. But I did enjoy the rest of the film. I might need to watch it again, as with all Gilliam film, there's an awful lot going on in the frame.
