Terry Gilliam on Japanese TV
Terry Gilliam was recently in Japan for the Tokyo premiere of his new film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Japanese comedy duo Bakusho Mondai were sent to interview him about the movie, and wackiness ensued:
The interview starts with Hikari Ota noting Terry’s resemblance to Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson. They talk a bit about the film, and then engage in weird behavior like sending shout-outs to Japanese TV hosts and making director/sumo poses.
This was actually the third time they had met and interviewed Terry Gilliam. Some clips of a 2005 interview they conducted (with Patrick Harlan acting as interpreter) can be found on YouTube, courtesy of tmyl1pik:
