Overview: Twelve Monkeys is yet another tour-de-force from film maker Terry Gilliam. Done as a remake to the very innovative experimental French film, La Jetée, Gilliam is able to take the same notions of time travel, dystopic futures and personal trauma and love, and wrap it into a truly riviting package.

Because of the similarities, I have reviewed this movie in-depth in combination with La Jetée (these two movies truly go together).
