Kurt Andersen talks with director Terry Gilliam about the age-old battle between rationality and superstition, and how it plays out in his new film, The Brothers Grimm. Gilliam also explains why, in spite of disasters, he refuses to give up on making big movies about big ideas. Plus, a writer tells us how stumbling onto a Rembrandt changed his life. And a reporter gets lost in the new Oxford Companion to Jazz.
