Revisit the work of Terry Gilliam, the visionary director (aka Mad Genius) whose movies explore imagination and society. Jay and Shua go a little mad on Enjoy Stuff.

 

And now for something even more completely different; Terry Gilliam. He went from Monty Python’s animator to iconic director of unique movies. Let’s look back at his creative work.

Enjoy Movies! 

Fans of Monty Python may know Terry Gilliam as the animator of their bizarre cartoons featured on the show. Or as the only American born member of the legendary troupe. But as his career progressed, Gilliam took his imaginative talents to the director’s chair. His visually stunning and sometimes uncomfortable films thrust you into dream-like worlds and explored important characteristics of society. From the time-hopping child view of Time Bandits, to the award winning exploration of class structure in Brazil, Gilliam takes you on a brain trip with each of his tales. If it weren’t for his terrible luck during productions, we may have even more to explore. This is Terry Gilliam.
