Some of cinema's legendary artists – renowned for their work with Fellini, Godard, Fassbinder, and Herzog among others – would unwittingly unite to create the greatest financial disaster in movie The Adventures of Baron Munchausen . Andrew Yule goes behind the scenes of Gilliam's epic and unravels, twist by agonizing twist, the contorted drama which saw the original budget of $23.5 million rocket to an astronomical $46 million – making it one of the most expensive features in history.
