The Fisher King has two actors at the top of their form, and a compelling, well-directed and well-produced story.

So what if it's not perfect? It's magic.

Visually impressive, frequently pretentious, and extremely fluid as narrative (the 137 minutes sail by effortlessly), this mythic comedy-drama presents Gilliam as half seer, half snake-oil salesman and defies you to sort out which is which.
