Product: The Fisher King [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 3.0
A Terry Gilliam Classic! Ok Disc.
It had been over 15 years since I had seen this movie, and I remember liking it but not much else. I was not disappointed. It's after Baron Muchhausen & before (my favorite) 12 Monkeys. I am a Terry Gilliam film fan, but not that I think all of his work is good. [The Brothers Grimm is just plain terrible]PROs:Outstanding direction by Terry Gilliam adapting a story he did not writeRobin Williams & Jeff Bridges give excellent performances & have on-screen chemistryRobin Williams naked in Central Park, rubbing his butt on the ground: "You know why dogs do this? Because it feels good!"Decent side love storiesGilliam's continuing themes of fantasy & redemptionDrunken Jeff Bridges recommending a porno to a woman while working at a VHS video store (reminds me of Clerks a little)Gilliam does a good job of roping in Williams' antics in the second half so he doesn't overwhelm the storyCONs:Ok image transfer to Blu Ray, but pretty bare bones. (two stars removed).Overall recommended for Terry Gilliam fans!
