Terry Gilliam is the most fun movie director to listen to. So funny and honest. His commentary tracks are absolutely brilliant, and essential. Loved this interview

He's 67 here. Looks great.

Probably the best interview I've seen of an exceptional contemporary filmmaker thus far. Excellent questions, lots of candor, humor, intelligence and respect. Kudos.

That was great! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you.

Very well done

Absolutely incredible interview.

What a great interview!

Helpful insight - esp about guarding one's belief when the odds are stacked, forge on...

Brazil is my favourite film! 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎

great inspiration!!

I found this to he an excellent interview. The interviewer was congenial, following Terry’s humor and asking good questions. Only at the end Terry spoke about his scripts that hadn’t been produced that the interviewer would have been good to follow into.

Thank you for your comment, it is much appreciated. We too would have liked to have followed up on the scripts that hadn't been produced, but unfortunately our time with Terry had run out and the interview had to end there. We often see comments wishing we had asked about this or that, but while they are unusually long compared to many, and we tried to cover as much ground as possible, these interviews were still conducted surrounded by clock-watching suits and when time was called it had to be respected. We're glad you enjoyed what we did get, and we loved talking to Terry.

43:14 is another marble… hilarious 😂😂😂

Can we also not notice the subtle influence of English accents into Gilliams diction?

Did he drop an air biscuit at 23:55 ?

RIP

9:31 is a golden moment….pop culture should phrame it 😂😂😂

gotto be a National Treasure, this man...🙏

wwwWHAT.. is your name? wwwWHAT.. is your quest? wwwWHAT.. can I do to give Mr. Gilliam money for his next movie, when I don't have any money, but wish I did?

Always interesting to hear Gilliam. But the questions are disappointingly meta, basic, casual, self-conscious? "What questions are you tired of?", "Who is Hunter S Thompson", "Will this interview cut together?", "What are junkets like?". Ask more about the work!

Always good to hear an opinion. Here's a summary of the questions we asked. Is that a problem with interviews? The “set” response to generally the same question? So what brought you to "harming the culture" in the first place? Was it animation? Film direction? What started it all off? In a nutshell how would you describe the Monty Python series, - the group, the style, the humor - to someone who has never heard of them or seen anything? At the end of the title sequence this foot come crashing down. Whose foot is that? Do you ever get tired of being asked about Python? So when you moved into film, from your point of view as an animator, did that give you more “stuff” to put your hands on, to work in three dimensions and art direct more? Once you got to make “Jabberwocky” did you find you were getting a taste for directing? You’ve made a lot of short films… how do you evaluate short films as a format and as a launchpad for bigger ideas? Would say that it was “The Crimson Permanent Assurance” was the first time you established a [live action] style rather than “Jabberwocky” or “Holy Grail”? How did you get Sean Connery for “Time Bandits”? “Brazil”. Where did that come from? What was it like working with De Niro? Given the context of your films which are never standard in any way ... how do you measure a performance? Brad Pitt in “12 Monkeys” comes to mind, do you know when you’re getting it just right, if it’s going over the top, or if it’s not enough? Without getting into the whole business of what happened with the distribution in America of “Brazil”, what effect did you think that have on your relationship with Hollywood? So why do you have this reputation? How much is “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen”, as the film we see today, close to what you wanted to make? Do you see madness as a form of liberation? When you had Bruce Willis for “12 Monkeys”, you had him a post-“Pulp Fiction” moment, when he was looking to be less ‘Die-Hardian’, but did you have to keep the “Die Hard” out of Bruce Willis? You sent Mercedes Ruehl a fax after she’d won [the Oscar] for “The Fisher King”, telling her it would be the kiss of death... So you’re very happy never to have actually won one yourself? How did “The Fisher King” come to you? Was it already in development? Do you actually like your image as this rebellious “to hell with the budget to hell with the costs”? Which of your films do you find you get asked about the most? Actors like Jonathan Pryce, Peter Stormare, Jeff Bridges, Ian Holm and Ralph Richardson have the ability to play comedy and dangerous at the same time. Is that something that you look for? “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”. Who is Hunter S. Thompson? For those who have never heard of Hunter S. Thompson. Your film [“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”] is “out there” isn’t it. “The Brothers Grimm”, just to touch on it very quickly, was it the first time you used CGI? What did you think of “Lost in La Mancha”? Are you going to have another go at it? [The Man Who Killed Don Quixote] Over the past few years we’ve seen wizards, hobbits, gladiators, pirates… do you think someone’s hijacked your personal genres? Has there been any of those big productions that you would have liked to have got your hands on? You’ve been doing this for about forty years now. What have you learned in all that time? -- We think we did ask about the work. We're sorry if you found the questions "disappointingly meta, basic, casual, self-conscious", but the answers they solicited are far more interesting.

@KGSM MediaCache Well, I, for one, disagree with the opinion proffered above and it certainly looks like Terry enjoyed himself also. 👏🏼

"Famous for..." When i read that, and it did not mention Monty Python, i seriously need to question the credentials of whatever simpleton wrote it.

The simpleton who wrote it put "Monty Python" as the first words of the first sentence.
