| The
Fabulous Baron Munchausen
Brilliant film adaptation of the incredible stories
of Baron Munchausen mixing animation with live action,
as well as incorporating a seemingly revolutionary technique
of applying distinct and wildly varying color jells
throughout the movie. Directed by Karel Zeman, who is
known as the father of Czech animated film, “The
Fabulous Baron Munchausen” is an astounding work
of film genius, crafted with painstaking detail and
dedication to truly capture the whimsical nature of
Munchausen’s breezy, airy tall tales.
Anyone who loves the Terry Gilliam Munchausen film should
certainly see this for a fascinating take on the same
story. Karel Zeman certainly deserves a real revival
and appreciation as a true visionary filmmaker.
Highly recommended!
