Part of the Retrospective: The Future Is History Strand
Following on from the lively fantasy of Time Bandits, Terry Gilliam unveiled this dark Orwellian science fiction starring Jonathan Pryce as the lonely dreamer trapped in a bureaucratic dystopia. With a star-studded cast at his disposal, including Robert De Niro, Bob Hoskins, Jim Broadbent, Katherine Helmond, Peter Vaughan and Michael Palin, Gilliam once again miraculously translates his unique vision into a seemingly authentic alternative universe, but this time the scale is breathtaking.
