Terry Gilliam never fails to intrigue me. I love that he makes his viewers work to understand what's going on and as you figure things out it becomes a marvelous, surreal ride. Christoph Waltz is brilliant as the tortured-genius Qohen. And both Matt Damon's cameo as "Management" and Tilda Swinton's AI psychiatrist are ridiculous and perfect. I'd watch this again, for sure.
