Time travel has always fascinated me, but stories and films about it never fail to disturb me. There is something strange and eerie about the idea of getting caught in a time loop and altering time and events. And it's so depressing to think that going back to try to prevent something awful from happening just can't be done. This story takes that to a whole new level because it is post-apocalyptic. Terry Gilliam masterfully adapted the short film "La Jetee," which I watched right after this film. Wow.
