Tom, I think Munchausen suffered for all the insane backstage problems it had – from a Munchausen-like producer to Columbia’s abandonment of the the picture, for which I don’t hold Gilliam responsible for one minute. Like The Brothers Grimm it’s got some good individual scenes, but in my opinion doesn’t compare with the likes of 12 Monkeys, Brazil or The Time Bandits. Have you seen the 1943 German version? That still holds up after all this time! And the makers of that had their own, ah, “production difficulties” to deal with. I still haven’t seen Tideland yet.

I never read reviews before I see a movie, so I skipped that part. But after two seconds of the clip you see it’s Gilliam. The way it’s filmed and the dialogue. I’m already loving it, like I love all Gilliam has done. Even “Baron Munchausen” is one of my all-time favourites and I evenly enjoyed “Tideland”. I probably share Gilliam’s weird visions.

Love Gilliam, but not even Heath could save The Brothers Grimm. That was a total mess and painfully unfunny, like Baron Munchausen. He’s at his best when he keeps it dark.

Must admit, the clip didn’t turn me on. That said, the information from the reviews has whetted my appetite for more of this film.
