Review of The Crimson Permanent Assurance (1983) by Matt M — 23 Jan 2013
Gilliam shows his creativity in this early short from the Monty Python days which was used to open up the feature The Meaning of Life. In it, the building of an assurance company turns into a crimson pirate ship attacking banks around the world.
It looks stunning - the mark of Gilliam is very much present, and even the subject is very intelligent and original making a bold political statement that seems ahead of its time, showing that the director's ambition went beyond budget worries or any other kind of worry.
