First watch in nearly 30 years. My word, I love Gilliam and this is a perfect Gilliam film. No one can make a grown up story mixed with fantasy and wonder like he can. Grand Central Station, the dinner scene, the red knight. You'd be lucky to make one incredible Grail film in your life but TG has made two!
