It’s fitting that a film about a legendary fabulist should spawn its own movieland myth: Terry Gilliam’s overreaching folly, all undisciplined vision and two fingers to studio bean-counters. Heaven’s Gate with elephants, knickers and cannonballs.
Three decades on from the tabloid roasting that accompanied its troubled production – and blessed with a new 4K restoration that allows its hand-crafted spectacle to truly shine – this salute to the power of fantasy is revealed more than ever as the ex-Python’s unsung masterpiece.
