Review of The Fisher King (1991) by Donald W — 01 Sep 2009
This is a bizarre movie directed by Terry Gilliam, the guy who did the animation on Monty Python's Flying Circus. The background of the story is New York City in the early 1990's. Robin Williams plays a crazy homeless man as only Robin Williams can.
Jeff Bridges plays a late night radio DJ based on the DJ's who did the rude call in shows popular in the 1980's. The movie is about the friendship of these two characters. The movie is full of grit and grim like Monty Python And The Holy Grail or Time Bandits.
In fact, all of Terry Gilliam's movies have unique grit to them. The humor is dark. The acting is good. If you are a fan of bizarre humor you must see this movie.
