Adventures Of Baron Munchausen, The (1988) (Criterion Collection)
-
Blu-ray
A$74.99
The boundless imagination of TERRY GILLIAM (Brazil) yields a dazzling fantasy of epic proportions. Inspired by the extravagant exploits of the fabled Baron Munchausen, this spectacle - born of a famously turbulent production - follows the whimsical eighteenth-century nobleman (The X-Files' JOHN NEVILLE) as he embarks on an outlandish quest that takes him from faraway lands to the moon to the belly of a sea monster and beyond, meanwhile waging battle against a vengeful sultan and the tyranny of logic.
Packed frame to frame with special effects, mischievous wit, and colourful performances - including a young SARAH POLLEY (The Sweet Hereafter) as the Baron's no-nonsense sidekick - the Oscar-nominated The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a lavish celebration of the triumph of make-believe over reality.
- New 4K digital restoration, approved by writer-director Terry Gilliam, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack

- Documentary on the making of the film
- New video essay by critic and filmmaker David Cairns about the history of the Baron Munchausen character
