Jabberwocky (DVD, 1977)

Description: Opening with a quote from Lewis Carroll's classic nonsensical poem, Terry Gilliam's JABBERWOCKY is a darkly comic medieval masterpiece about a monster wreaking havoc on helpless villages. Michael Palin stars as Dennis Cooper, a happy-go-lucky ne'er-do-well stock taker who becomes the unlikely hero in a castle's efforts to defeat the great green beast. The unwitting and pathetic Dennis is in love with Griselda, the farthest thing from a classic princess heroine that film has ever seen. However, she wants nothing to do with Dennis, who is renounced by his father on his deathbed, setting him off on a hysterical adventure that winds up with him facing off against the monster itself. The jousting scenes are particularly funny--and very gruesome, lending the film its seriocomic tone that had the audience somewhat baffled at first, although it's now much loved. The film is a brilliant parody of medieval epics, featuring lavish costumes, a medieval score, and terrific sets. Monty Python regulars Terry Jones and Neil Innes make cameo appearances, as does director Gilliam himself.Product IdentifiersUPC0043396922495eBay Product ID (ePID)3361611Product Key FeaturesDirectorTerry Gilliam, Terrence Vance GilliamRatingGFormatDVDMovie/TV TitleJabberwockyGenreComedyAdditional Product FeaturesFilm CountryUSARegion CodeRegion 1Number of Discs1Signal StandardDvdLeading RoleMichael PalinRelease Date20011023
