Jabberwocky
Jabberwocky: the monster so horrible that people caught the plague to avoid it
Directed by Terry Gilliam
Produced by Python Films, Umbrella Films
A darkly comic, surreal medieval fantasy romp that blends Monty Python-style absurdism with a coming-of-age quest, where a bumbling hero stumbles through a plague-ridden kingdom toward an encounter with a legendary monster.
After the death of his father, young Dennis Cooper goes to town where he has to pass several adventures. The town and the whole kingdom is threatened by a terrible monster called 'Jabberwocky'. Will Dennis make his fortune? Is anyone brave enough to defeat the monster?
