Jabberwocky - Criterion Collection (BLU-RAY)

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 only possible savior but Dennis Cooper (Michael Palin), an endearingly witless bumpkin who stumbles onto the scene and is flung into the role of brave knight? Terry Gilliams first outing as a solo directorinspired by Lewis Carrolls poem Jabberwocky and made following Gilliams success as a member of the iconic comedy troupe Monty Pythonshowcases 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 filmmakers most uproarious visions of society gone berserk.
