In this video essay, we explore where iconic director, Terry Gilliam, falls on the spectrum between live-action and animation largely examining two of his later films, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) and The Zero Theorem (2013). Both are linked below and are fantastic choices for your next movie night! What's your favorite Gilliam flick? Lmk in the comments :)

Please note there are mild spoilers for each film discussed. I try not to reveal anything too much whenever possible because I want people to go watch whatever is being discussed if they haven't. However, it is necessary in order to discuss some parts.
