Garden State *** (2004, Zach Braff, Ian Holm, Peter Sarsgaard, Natalie Portman) – Classic Movie Review 1498

Co-writer/director Terry Gilliam’s dazzling 1985 movie provides an ambitious, horrifying vision of a dystopian world in the style of George Orwell’s novel 1984, predicting and condemning a bizarrely convoluted and inefficient state. Gilliam’s nightmarish vision makes for […]
