The Adventures of Baron Munchausen: An indeterminate town in what might be France is under attack by the Turks. During the seige, Baron Munchausen breaks into a theater production of his adventures to set the story straight and save the town in the process. I think. In the end it wasn’t very clear what was real and what was not. Those stories usually leave me really disappointed, as do “it was all just a dream” cop-outs, but this film was a delight. The effects, costumes, make-up, and sets were all just amazing. I especially liked Robin Williams as the king of the moon. Definitely recommended for people who like bizarre fantasy.
