Negative Positive
Title: Visionary
Review: What a perfect equation. Add the off-the-wall prose of Hunter S. Thompson with the visionary direction of the legendary Terry Gilliam, and you have a movie that cannot, and does not, fail to entertain and amaze. While reading the book, and having some first-hand experience with the subject matter, definitely aids in the experience, the film stands pretty well on its own. While a bit of a shift from Gilliam's other fantasy-world movies, it still carries that frenetic frantic energy that makes Gilliam's other films so enthralling. Definitely a prefect mix of drug-culture insanity and practically flawless film-making. Further proof of Gilliam's genius, IMHO.
