If you loved The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, try Time Bandits

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Terry Gilliam, and they both carry the playful, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Time Bandits is

Medieval castle walls at dusk a ticking clock. A boy's bedroom becomes a launchpad for six thieving dwarfs, plundering through time. Terry Gilliam's visual wit is on full display.
