It is unmistakably Gilliam: ubiquitous imagination, slow pacing, few if any relatable characters- but it is so much more. It is a happy marriage between the final Heath Ledger showing and one enormous mind that flirts with the devil.
Speaking of the devil, Tom Waits delivers in spades. His hellish portrayal is eerily reminiscent of Walter Huston's in 'The Devil and Daniel Webster'. He is supported by a wide array of stars including the aforementioned Heath Ledger, who surprisingly has a much bigger role than anticipated, and has found a fitting homage to a short but stellar career and life. And he has bequeathed us this charming performance (with help from friends).
The final act is lacking, but I can understand why Gilliam holds this amongst his best. He has gone within and externalised the lot. It's all here in an oddball, fantastical collage of a film. Not essential, but nevertheless interesting viewing, as is often the case with Gilliam.
