If The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus hit the spot, these will too

Both are Terry Gilliam's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Critics were much harder on this one

Epic and twisty in the same breath
The difference: Not nearly as dreamlike

Epic adventure in both cases
The difference: Lighter on dream logic

Dreamlike fantasy, and it commits to that

Both are built on the same subject: immortality
The difference: Played as drama first

Mystery with a pulse of twists, in both cases
The difference: Leans further into action

Fantasy built on dream logic, twice over

Both lean on scale more than on adventure

Dreamlike mystery, and it commits to that
The difference: Made in the 1940s, in a different era of the craft

One thread runs through both: immortality

Fantasy with a pulse of twists, in both cases

Both are adventure through and through
