Bonkers and Beautiful - By: Graeme Loveridge, 09 Jul 2008
I remember watching this film as a child & being terrified & excited at the same time. If I wasn't absolutly certain a might actuallly have struggled to decide whether I'd dreamt the whole expeariance. Such is the nature of Baron Munchausen, It is a poetic & whimsical patchwork of frensied childhood dreams & nightmares, held together with fairy tale logic. Gilliam is the master of childlike imaginings mixing alllagory, myths & his own pythonesc humour into & episodic adventure full of colourful characters, magical scenery & impossible special effects that no one these days would attempt without cgi.
There are plenty of special features on this disc which include an in-depth documentary on the making of the film & an audio commentary with Gilliam. The transfer to blu-ray is good but not perfect there are still a few moments of grainyness but this doesn't detract much from this twisted fairytale of a film.
