Of course you can find visually stunning things in other Gilliam's movies but here they work in conjunction with a meaningful story, great dialogues, great actors work, etc. And the sequence where De Niro's character gets swallowed by the paper whirlwind is maybe the most powerful image I've ever seen in avzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936752232469893943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049018105272921172.post-77525152264241007112009-07-04T03:12:04.614-04:002009-07-04T03:12:04.614-04:00And what exactly was that effect, if I can ask?
