Rating: 5.0
A Classic for the Ages
The Fisher King could possibly be Gilliam's BEST film, next to Brazil. The story is a familiar Gilliam theme - treading the fine line between reality and fantasy. What makes this film great is the believability and soul of the story. Gilliam pulls it off brilliantly thanks to a great script and a GREAT cast.Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges along with Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda Plummer gave outstanding performances. Williams is great as always and Bridges is at the top of his craft.Heartwarming, surprising, and unique - if you haven't watched this - get it now. If you have, you'll enjoy watching this story of love again and again.
