The man who fought studios, lost projects, and still built a universe of glorious chaos.
Bandits, Bandits, Brazil, Munchausen, Twelve Monkeys, not to mention the crazy Monty Python saga... With their visual extravagance and ever-fresh originality, amplifying his vision of a humanity that is as disturbing as it is comical, his films have made history. In the same baroque, zany, but also tragic vein, Terry Gilliam's work and life merge into an adventure that borders on the epic.

Clavel mirrors Gilliam's own baroque excess—meta, messy, fitting.
Editing

Director
Benjamin Clavel
