The Criterion Collection has released a clip from
Creating the Worlds of Time Bandits, a new featurette in which production designer Milly Burns and costume designer James Acheson explain how the different period costumes for Terry Gilliam's beloved
Time Bandits were created.
The featurette is included on Criterion's new Blu-ray of
Time Bandits, which was released earlier this week. You can see our listing and review of this release
here.
In this fantastic voyage through time and space from Terry Gilliam, a boy named Kevin (Craig Warnock) escapes his gadget-obsessed parents to join a band of time-traveling dwarves. Armed with a map stolen from the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson), they plunder treasure from Napoleon (Ian Holm) and Agamemnon (Sean Connery)—but Evil (David Warner) is watching their every move. Featuring a darkly playful script by Gilliam and Monty Python's Michael Palin (who also appears in the film), Time Bandits is at once a giddy fairy tale, a revisionist history lesson, and a satire on technology gone awry. Restored in 2K.
