Brazil
12 Monkeys
The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen
etc
His latest film looks like some right crazy shit. It has a scene where a child of 12 is looking after her dad and is giving him a shot of heroin, a disturbing image.
The new film is called
Tideland
and he has had a 12 million pound budget and Gilliam should make good use of that to create some twisted landscapes. I didn't like his last film that much the Brothers Grimm but I like the actual story is just that he couldn't really pull it off because it was financed by Hollywood so they insisted on certain actors and certain story lines etc.Gilliam also is a big fan of Don Quixote. I have read the book and even though it was bloody tough going I did enjoy it and I enjoyed the madness of it, delicious. Because I read the massive book of Don Quixote I brought the film which was pretty boring but my mate saw that I had brought a new film and watched it and was bored out of his mind, ho ho ho how I laughed.
It sounds like the film must be nearly finished or quite a bit done so this will be something to look forward to. I would link to the guardian for you but I don't know if I can be bothered. Oh I've got myself interested now
Here is the rough plot from the guardian film website
after her mother dies from a heroin overdose, Jeliza-Rose is taken from the big city to a rural farmhouse by her father. As she tries to settle into a new life in a house her father had purchased for his now-deceased mother, Jeliza-Rose\'s attempts to deal with what\'s happened result in increasingly odd behavior, as she begins to communicate mainly with her bodiless Barbie doll heads and Dell, a neighborhood woman who always wears a beekeeper\'s veil.here is the imdb link, it has a really good review here
