Ingenious

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 1998)

I urge everyone not only to watch this movie but to study it. It is one of the most brilliant pieces of cinematic work I have ever seen. The number of parallels between different temporal contexts and the number of examples of monkey imagery throughout elevate director Terry Gilliam to genious-status in my mind. The soundtrack is eerily perfect, and the cast is ideal. Make sure you pay attention when you see it, and I recommend watching several times. There is so much that is so easily missed.
