My second favourite Gilliam film of all time

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2007)

This is the film that proves Gilliam's genius. Faced with budget, time and ratings restrictions, Gilliam produces a masterful version of "La Jetee", coaxing excellent performances out of the entire cast. This is one of Willis' finest performances, and Brad Pitt's Oscar-nominated turn convinced me that he's not just another pretty face. The use of existing elements to create a vision of the future is amazing, and results in that rare breed of science fiction that doesn't rely on special effects to tell the story.
I won't say anymore, because this is the type of movie that it's best to go into blind.
