And it's nice to see Terry Gilliam getting to use his real accent in the Grim Reaper scene. Also, that feeling when you spot that Terry Jones is Mr Creosote and the recist cleaning lady who mops up his remains.

2024-05-29 21:24:03 +0000 UTCThis film tends to get a bad rap compared to the other two, which in some ways is understandable. It's a series of sketches rather than a continuous narrative (though it does have a coherent overarching theme), and the fact that the supporting feature was originally supposed to just be one of the sketches within the film but then Gilliam wanted to develop it further and it became the B-movie - the simple knowledge of that fact makes some people view the whole project as somehow disjointed. Yet the quality is still very high. The "birth" and "growth and learning" segments are outstanding. The only dip in quality for me is the scene in the war trenches with the clocks, which perhaps outstays its welcome. The guys in the tiger costume and the "find the fish" segment continue MP's delightful pursuit of silliness for its own sake, and the Grim Reaper sketch has some wonderful subtext about British class prejudice. And the Penis Song is just brilliant, let's face it..... and the scene when the French waiter takes us to his childhood home... I find that genuinely haunting. At least until his expression changes and he snarls "but well... fuck you!" Ha!
