TERRY GRIMM

I have had my ups and downs watching Terry Gilliam films (see my last Fisher King rant) but I have great interest and sympathy for what he is trying to do.

After all, his favorite actors are Jeff Bridges and Johnny Depp. Me too. So how can I be totally upset with him?

I got even more interested when we saw the documentary of his disaster-inflicted attempt to make a Don Quixote film; Lost in La Mancha. It read like the perils of Job. This is Gilliam and Depp watching the cameras being washed away by a flash flood.

This NYT article nicely tells the Gilliam story and updates us on his latest efforts.

The Grimm film opens next weekend.
