I don’t think that there is any other director working today who has a more distinct visual flare than Terry Gilliam. There’s a certain lunacy that can be found when staring at any of his movies and his next project, Zero Theorem, looks as visually mad as ever. So how did he create this world?

From the bureaucratic mess of Brazil through to the very real terror of 12 Monkeys, Gilliam films are always crawling with all manner of background horror and absurdity. And in Zero Theorem, that eye for insane detail just …
