-
The sheer volume and invention of Gilliam's visual largess sets him apart, and his wit operates for the most part at a dangerously sophisticated level.

One of the most voluptuously beautiful films ever imagined, Munchausen naturally assumes that surrealism is preferable, that through make-believe we find the way to true beliefs.

A lavish fairy tale for bright children of all ages.

The king is completely out-of-control, and so was Gilliam in making this film. Neither has much of a sense of proportion, but both are hard to ignore.
November 15, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
There is much to see on this journey, all of it presented in the abundant, deep-focus detail that is Gilliam's visual trademark.

A fitting final installment in Terry Gilliam's trilogy begun with Time Bandits and continued with Brazil.
