A Family Vacation Becomes a Surrealistic Dream in Terry Gilliam’s New Short

While we patiently await Terry Gilliam’s next film — The Zero Theorem, which will supposedly premiere before the year is out — here’s a 20-minute short that was made in 2011 and recently surfaced online. Sponsored by the pasta company Garofalo (which only required that Gilliam set the film in Naples and not kill any characters), it plunges a vacationing boy into a bizarre dream world after he defies his parents and steals a Pulcinella doll. Needless to say, it is very Gilliam. [via BrowBeat]
