| A friend shared these with me, and I was surprised to come here and see they had not been posted yet. Amazing to look at, but I can't quite figure out the concept. | |

| As per an article I read, "in this production, the story unfolds through the inquisitive eyes of a young girl playing with a Victorian toy theatre". I'm not saying it holds up throughout or adds to the show, but apparently that is the concept (I do like seeing that the "giant"has little girl feet.) | |

| Perhaps the little girl playing with the theater is the giant. | |

| so the concept is Terry Gilliam, lol. I love his imagination, but even at his peak, his work wasn't overly bound by conceptual consistency, and I don't think we've seen him at his peak since the late '90s. | |

| I liked, but did not love, the ITW movie. I think a Gilliam film of the piece could have been wonderful. Or awful. All I know is that the creativity and originality made movies like Time Bandits very, very rewarding for repeated viewings as a kid. | |

| ... were really Gilliam's heyday as a filmmaker: Time Bandits, Brazil, The Fisher King, and 12 Monkeys. I don't think anything he's done since the mid-90s holds a candle to any of them. | |

| I recently saw Dr. Parnassus and it's a mess for many reasons including Heath Ledger's death during the production. However, it has some of my favorite sequences in all of Gilliam's work. | |

| Absolutely, and I'd add "Munchausen" to that list. I recently re-watched it as a reference for a theater project, and it really holds up. | |

| Don't read Sarah Polley's (brilliant) "Run Towards the Danger," in that case. Her descriptions of Gilliam's callous treatment of her as a child will make it unbearable to watch "Munchausen." | |

| Not one of my faves. But I could watch Brazil from now until doomsday. (And terrifyingly, it feels even more relevant today.) | |

| His production of Benvenuto Cellini at ENO was one of the greatest opera productions I’ve ever seen. It was a bit like Phelim McDermott in it’s hand made spectacle but much darker and more chaotic. | |
