Actor, writer, and celebrated filmmaker Terry Gilliam rose to fame as part of the comedy troupe Monty Python alongside John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Graham Chapman. He wrote and co-directed the iconic “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” (1975) as well as writing “Monty Python’s Life of Brian” (1979) and other Python movies such as “And Now for Something Completely Different” (1971) and “Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life” (1983). Noted for his imaginative and surreal style, he is the director of “Time Bandits” (1981), “Brazil” (1985), “The Fisher King” (1991), “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998), and more. His movies have been widely acclaimed for their boldness and originality; notably, “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen” (1988), “Tideland” (2009), and “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” (2009) are all ambitious fantasy movies. While Gilliam’s movies often have unique stories, in both “The Brothers Grimm” (2005) and “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” (2018) he puts his own twist on legendary source material. He often handles dystopian themes in his movies, such as “The Zero Theorem” (2013), in which he continues in the cyberpunk style that he helped characterize with his science fiction thriller “12 Monkeys” (1995), starring Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis.
