Jabberwocky

Terry Gilliam delivers this early work of his with a little help from his Monty Python friends Michael Palin and Terry Jones and while some like to rip this baby apart I have always quite enjoyed it. It helps if you try not to look at it in the Python coontext and take it as the stand alone project it is. Elaborating on the Lewis Carrol poem. JABERWOCKY is not one for the kiddies because A; it will bore them to death and B; if they aren't already asleep there are some genuinely frightening scene of gore that will keep them up all night. Not Gillliam's greatest film but Palin, as always, is brilliant.
