Another wonderful foray into fantasy from the Gilliam oeuvre, this time a family-friendly adventure as a young boy accidentally joins a band of time travelling dwarfs, who jump from era to era looking for treasure to steal. It's like a surreal Narnia with small criminals. Screening as part of our the Creative Genius of Terry Gilliam season.

“For a kids film this is pleasingly dark with Gilliam delivering as much classical fairy tale as knockabout comedy”
“Gilliam fills the screen with bizarre images, and directs with a breathless ingenuity”
“Ex-Python Gilliam is one of the great conjurers of cinema, and this film is proof of his ample and unpredictable talent”
