Terry Gilliam From Inside the ‘Imaginarium’
Terry Gilliam is the acclaimed director of “Brazil,” “The Fisher King,” and “Twelve Monkeys,” among many others. With his most recent release, “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus,” he faced a challenge that many might find insurmountable: the loss of his lead actor. Star Heath Ledger died mid-filming, and Gilliam had to find a way to continue the movie-making process.
