Leaving December 31
•
2h 9m
Directed by Terry Gilliam • 1995 • United States
Starring Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, Brad Pitt
Terry Gilliam’s grungy, gonzo riff on Chris Marker’s LA JETÉE (with a host of try-and-spot-’em Hitchcock allusions thrown in) stars Bruce Willis as a prisoner in the year 2035 who’s zapped back in time to the 1990s to stop a deadly man-made virus from decimating the world’s population. There’s only one problem: everyone thinks he’s insane. Costarring an Academy Award–nominated Brad Pitt as a paranoid mental patient, this thrillingly imaginative postapocalyptic head trip is Gilliam at his most cracked and brilliant.
