A spectacular movie about how freedom is so easily stifled. One of the most visually stunning movies I've ever seen, this is Gilliam's best work by far. The movie is highly and uniquely stylized. That's often a drawback.
Many directors throw in visual flourishes just because they can.
Gilliam's style, however, is coherent and it follows form. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with production value that adds this much and makes such sense. And the screenplay. This is a great format for tone. If you are a Free-Market.
