Harvard-educated expatriate Terry Gilliam surfaced as Monty Python's chancellor
of imagery, framing the British comedy troupe's acerbic, antic comedy with
budget-conscious but brilliant cut-and-paste animations. Moving behind the
camera for the Pythons' big-screen adventures, Gilliam
opened a door to an even more dizzying style as a visionary--and always
strikingly visual--filmmaker. Fusing satire, science fiction, fantasy, dramatic
fire, and antic comedy, Gilliam's movies combine an often painterly visual
sense with a truly fabulous sense of the absurd, creating modern myths and
cautionary lessons about old worlds and new ones.
