The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - The Criterion Collection

Terry Gilliam directs and co-writes this fantasy adventure comedy. In the 17th century, a theatrical troupe are acting out the legendary adventures of mythical hero Baron Munchausen for the visiting Minister of War (Jonathan Pryce) when their performance is interrupted by an eccentric old man (John Neville) who claims to be the Baron himself. Protesting that the version of his life being presented is all wrong, the Baron proceeds to regale the audience with his own fantastic tale.
