I'm not very fond of reviews so i will be quick.
I love his movies. Brazil, Bandits, Munchhausen. They represent
wonderful memories from my childhood. These are special movies. Not
that I don't like the 12 Monkeys and the others, I love them. But those
are special. Dream injections in VHS format they were.
The Zero Theorem? I really liked it. It felt like one of the special
ones. Very little CGI, beautiful sets, great actors, crooked angles and
a compelling story. I think most people will relate to the main
character and his very explicit dilemmas. It is a satire of the world
we live in today, as Brazil was back in the 80's. In many aspects they
are very similar.
If you are a fan, watch it. You'll not be disappointed.
