In the eyes of Hollywood, Terry Gilliam is like Robert Oppenheimer – brilliant, talented, but best known for building The Bomb. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was made almost twenty years ago, but its shadow still falls on the director, and on The Brothers Grimm. Watch the movie, and it’s clear that some nerveless bureaucrat at the studio made a grab for the controls. As a result, this flight-of-fancy never really takes off, and instead just swerves all over the place.
