The Adventures of Baron Münchausen
1988
***½
Director: Terry Gilliam
Cast: John Neville, Eric Idle, Sarah Polley, Oliver Reed, Charles McKeown
A fascinating, ambitious and visually spectacular story about Baron Münchausen and his tall tales. Terry Gilliam's film is also wacky and pompous, which is probably why it was a massive box office flop. Uma Thurman has a small but very memorable role.
