RivieraLife.tv - Terry Gilliam interview

Terry Gilliam Interview

Terry Gilliam

Maverick film director and former Python Terry Gilliam debuted his new fantasy movie 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival in 2009. It was the talk of the Croisette and the world's media as it stars Heath Ledger in his final screen appearance. The actor tragically died before its completion. His role was completed by Johnny Depp, Colin Farell and Jude Law. You can view a trailer and read reviews and news on the movie in our Cannes Film Festival 2009 archive. In this interview with RivieraLife.tv's Mark Dezzani, Terry Gilliam talks about his artistic roots in the 60s; how style now rules over substance; his difficulty with compromising; the essence of his moviemaking; the legacy of Monty Python and digital technology for up and coming film-makers.
