12 Monkeys Review & Analysis

Directed by Terry Gilliam (better known for his role in Monty Python's Flying Circus) and released in 1995 - 12 Monkeys' story is centered around time travel and the release of a globally devastating virus.

The cinematography is equal parts uncomfortable and claustrophobic. The use of Dutch angles to evoke paranoia; allows the viewer to experience the events through the eyes of the protagonist: James Cole.
