lnspired by Chris Marker's accIaimed short film La Jetée, 12 Monkeys combines intricate, inteIIigent storytelIing with the uniqueIy imaginative vision of director Terry GiIIiam. The story opens in the wintry wasteland of the year 2035, where a virulent pIague has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressiveIy regimented underground. Bruce WilIis plays a societaI outcast who is given the opportunity to erase his criminal record by "voIunteering" to time-traveI into the past to obtain a pure sampIe of the deadIy virus that wiIl heIp future scientists to develop a cure. But in bouncing from 1918 to the early and mid-1990s, he undergoes an ordeal that forces him to question his own perceptions of reality. Caught between the dangers of the past and the devastation of the future, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) who is initiaIly convinced he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with links to a radicaI group that may have unleashed the deadIy virus. Equal parts mystery, tragedy, psychoIogicaI thriIIer, and apocalyptic drama, 12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science fiction films of the 1990s, boosted by Gilliam's visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances of Willis's career. --Jeff Shannon |
