Exactly, the first thing that comes to mind.
Alas, watching Gilliam's other films gets more and more difficult, even though he tries to make the same movie again and again, for almost forty years now. But ‘Brazil’ was a home run on the first attempt.
- javajosh 4y agoYes, Time Bandits was just an attempt to remake Brazil. So was Imaginarium. /s
- aasasd 4y ago‘Time Bandits’ was before, so it's the other way around. Besides, you might be unfamiliar with the fact that Gilliam referred to ‘Bandits’, ‘Brazil’ and ‘Munchausen’ as a trilogy about the same thing. Which trilogy evidently ended up having at least nine films in it, excepting ‘F&L’ and me having not watched ‘Quixote’ yet (the latter's theme obviously follows the rest, though).
- aasasd 4y agoAs for a full-on remake: that's ‘Zero Theorem’. I can only guess that Gilliam lost hope in the subtler approach, and wanted to have at least something new that would get out of ‘Brazil’'s shadow. Which didn't work at all. Perhaps Tom Stoppard is the missing ingredient.
