To be honest, it has been ages since I have seen this movie and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. First of all, , even though I consider Terry Gilliam one of the most interesting directors in the world, I have noticed that I have actually sometimes a hard time to really connect with his movies because they are very often so surrealist and so over-the-top.

"One of the best parables for the movie's namesake I've seen. Williams and Bridges make a great team in another fantastically weird Terry Gilliam movie. "
