Review – The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Director Terry Gilliam lends his special brand of art-direction-intensive absurdism to this retelling of the Munchausen story and semi-remake of an end-of-the-war piece of German escapism. Toward the end it becomes a bit of a preachy paean to the merits of imagination over rationalism, but other than that it’s an enjoyable bit of fantasy. Mildly amusing
