Sony Adventures Of Baron Munchausen

Gilliam's most colourful and spectacular picture to date. Great performances by all the actors, particularly by that of the Baron himself, accompanied by a mesmerising original score by Gilliam's long-time collaborator Michael Kamen, the end result is a movie that happily throws reality out the window and encourages you to do so as well, and lets your imagination take you to spectacular heights.

I never get tired of seeing it again and again. It's what the true art must be - rich, deep, creative, imaginative, sarcastic and wise! And even something else, always something else!

I had the misfortune first of watching the German propaganda film before this. This is the way to tell the story. Perfect use of Gilliam's imagination and gifts as a visual filmmaker.

A little bit too long, the movie doesn't fail to entertain. Gilliam had a great vision and an idea of imagination and he successfully put it on the screen. Great performances, matching music and a touch of Terry. Even non-Gilliam lovers are going to at least like this movie.

Touching on compelling thematic ideas such as the importance of imagination, the nature of death, and even Cartesian Dualism, Terry Gilliam's "The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen" may be a potentially batty picture, but thanks to some delightful humor and breathtaking sets, it's also damn fun.
