Our take
No stranger to Orwellian dystopia, Terry Gilliam returned to the paranoid playgrounds of fabulist science-fiction for this vibrant brain-teaser. Big on wilfully eccentric ideas, and with a distinctive, ramshackle aesthetic maximalism, The Zero Theorem finds none of Gilliam’s creative zest tempered.
