Buy Adventures of Baron Munchausen from Amazon.com

The last of the Terry Gilliam life trilogy (Time Bandits, Brazil and this), Adventures of Baron Munchausen is the tall tail of the man who saved a European town from the horrors of the Turks. It is a totally fantastic story, completly breaching reality in all forms. Almost a childs story, but with a great amount of wit, and wonderful casting. Very fitting to the dreamlike films that Terry Gilliam is famous for. Is it real? Is it a play? What the hell is it? The DVD is 16x9 enhanced but only in Dolby Pro-Logic. There are no extras worth mentioning. An excellent film and a worthy addition to the Terry Gilliam library.
