Finally a film I hadn’t seen before. Well, alright, I’ve seen bits of it.
| Title: | Help! |
| Director: | Richard Lester |
| Score: | 4/6 |
| Best song: | You’ve got to hide your love away |
#235: The Usual Suspects [1995]
#235: The Phantom [2010]
#234: The Zero Theorem [2013]
Someone should get Terry more money. That CGI is not good. Still pretty good for a scifi, though. So what’s next? Apparently, Terry’s giving Don Quixote yet another go. With no Michael Palin, like he threatened us with in 2008.
| Title: | The Zero Theorem |
| Director: | Terry Gilliam |
| Score: | 8/10 |
| Best / Worst: | Waltz / Damon |
#233: Rise of the Guardians [2012]

#231: Tideland [2005]
#230: The Brothers Grimm [2005]
#229: Lost in La Mancha [200]
Not actually a Gilliam-film, I’ve nonetheless included it in the festival program. After completing Fear and Loathing, Gilliam set out to film a story based on Don Quixote. Struck heavily by Murphy, the whole project stranded with little salveagable result, and that was that. Pity. Judging from this not-making-of documentary, I think he was still on a roll.
| Title: | Lost in La Mancha |
| Director: | Keith Fulton / Louis Pepe |
| Score: | 3/6 |
| Director: | Not Terry Gilliam |
#228: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas [1998]
I’m worried about this new development. I went to an improvised jazz festival today, and the superior, kick-ass band was the band that played actual jazz! Before you know it I’ll be sitting nodding my head, nipping to a glass of red wine and speaking pretentiously about atonal polyrhythms.
| Title: | Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas |
| Director: | Terry Gilliam |
| Score: | 6/6 |
| Crush of the day: | Christina Ricci. |
