Beskrivning
A Critical Companion to Terry Gilliam provides a fresh, up-to-date exploration of the director’s films and artistic practices, ranging from his first film Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) to his recently released and latest film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018). This volume presents Gilliam as a director whose films weave together an avant-garde cinematic style, imaginative exaggeration, and social critique. Consequently, while his films can seem artistically chaotic and thus have the effect of frustrating and upsetting the viewer, the essays in this volume show that this is part of a very disciplined creative plan to achieve the defamiliarization of various accepted notions of human and social life.

Terry Gilliam has stood the test of time, and he’s still making art! It has been a decade since the last comprehensive review of his work and the time is right for another in-depth look at one of cinema’s most curious minds. Gilliam’s films from the Hollywood borderlands, both old and new, continue to animate and intrigue us in new and exciting ways. A Critical Companion to Terry Gilliam is a must-read and a must-think-about collection for anyone interested in Gilliam and his many worlds, worlds which overlap with our own.
