The Zero Theorem is one of the Gilliam films that got away: nobody saw it when it came out theatrically, but it seems to have gained a small cult following through Netflix and Blu-Ray. Director:

Being the only member of the Monty Python comedy group not to be born in England, Gilliam met his Python friends Eric Idle, Michael Palin and Terry Jones while working as an animator on an English children’s television show called “Do Not Adjust Your Set”. Although it is hard to follow the character’s journey at some points in the story, “Time Bandits” delivers great comedy in an intriguing setting, making it the seventh best Terry Gilliam film. Director: He brings it home, where he’s punished for sneaking out of the house, and since this is a Gilliam film it comes to life and leads to an adventure. This young girl with a completely irresponsible drug-addicted father needs to escape from this tough reality by creating a world of her own. Although it has strong acting and great cinematography allied with good production design, the film ends up leaving the audience with the sense of something missing.
