I turned on this DVD bonus feature, never expecting a full-length feature film and a damned fine and insightful look into the process of making movies. Turns out these guys would have a bigger and better film on their hands next go round (Lost in La Mancha), but their full access to Gilliam from pre-production to hawking the damned thing on Letterman is full of ups and downs, terrible setbacks and dizzying triumphs. I like this movie because it shows just how much of your movie is created in the editing room. (Also, they cut on a flatbed. Awesome.) Recommended for people looking for a good journalism piece – hardly a film for everyone.
