The Criterion Collection Jabberwocky (The Criterion Collection)
Description
Welcome to the kingdom of Terry Gilliam: his solo‐directing debut, a gonzo medieval comedy… Amid the filth and muck of England in the Dark Ages, a fearsome dragon stalks the land, casting a shadow of terror upon the kingdom of Bruno the Questionable. Who should emerge as the town’s only possible saviour but Dennis Cooper (Life of Brian’s Michael Palin), an endearingly witless bumpkin who stumbles onto the scene and is flung into the role of brave knight? The first outing as a solo director by Terry Gilliam (Brazil)—inspired by Lewis Carroll’s poem “Jabberwocky” and made on the heels of Gilliam’s success as a member of the iconic comedy troupe Monty Python—showcases his delight in comic nonsense, with a cast chock‐full of beloved British character actors. A giddy romp through blood and excrement, Jabberwocky remains one of the filmmaker’s most uproarious visions of society gone berserk. Features: New 4K digital restoration by the BFI National Archive and The Film Foundation, approved by director Terry Gilliam 5.1 surround DTS‐HD Master Audio soundtrack mix, supervised by Gilliam Audio commentary from 2001 featuring Gilliam and actor Michael Palin New documentary on the making of the film, featuring Gilliam, Palin, producer Sandy Lieberson, and actor Annette Badland New interview with Valerie Charlton, designer of the film’s creature, the Jabberwock, featuring her collection of rare behind‐the‐scenes photographs Audio interview with cinematographer Terry Bedford from 1998 Selection of Gilliam’s storyboards and sketches Original UK opening sequence
