Inspired by Chris Marker's acclaimed
short film La Jetée (which is included on
the DVD Short 2: Dreams), 12 Monkeys combines
intricate, intelligent storytelling with the
uniquely imaginative vision of director Terry
Gilliam. The story opens in the wintry wasteland
of the year 2035, where a virulent plague
has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressively
regimented underground. Bruce Willis plays
a societal outcast who is given the opportunity
to erase his criminal record by "volunteering"
to time-travel into the past to obtain a pure
sample of the deadly virus that will help
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 initially convinced
he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad
Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with
links to a radical group that may have unleashed
the deadly virus. Equal parts mystery, tragedy,
psychological thriller, and apocalyptic drama,
12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science
fiction films of the '90s, boosted by Gilliam's
visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances
of Willis's career.
