Terry Gilliam has stood the test of time, and he’s still making art! It has been a decade since the last comprehensive review of his work and the time is right for another in-depth look at one of cinema’s most curious minds. Gilliam’s films from the Hollywood borderlands, both old and new, continue to animate and intrigue us in new and exciting ways. A Critical Companion to Terry Gilliam is a must-read and a must-think-about collection for anyone interested in Gilliam and his many worlds, worlds which overlap with our own.

A Critical Companion to Terry Gilliam offers an excellent tribute to the quixotic filmmaker and an expansive collection of fresh approaches to his work. These essays reveal new insights about his genre-skewering films and the intriguing ways of thinking that they inspire. This lively volume engages Gilliam’s playfully apocalyptic visions on technology and society and what they have to say about our current moment as well as the systems that define our existence. This book will appeal to scholars, students, and fans alike.
