Review of The Fisher King (1991) by Thomas M — 04 May 2008

I really hated this film when first I saw it - so much so I remember where and when I was and the feeling of needing the WC that haunted me throughout the viewing.. in a Cinema in Milton Keynes - see I said I remembered...

To be fair though this film came out only slightly before that peter pan film and at around 12 years old it was the said peter pan film I was expecting to see.

Instead I saw this, a film about two men one driven to the wrong side of nutty by witnessing the murder of his wife the other the DJ who encouraged the eventual murderer somewhat inadvertently.

I think I must have given up at round about the hour mark, as Mr Williams persisted in failing to fly about the place but by then I was in no mood to appreciate this film for what is was rather than hate it for what it was not.

I've seen it since and revised my somewhat jaundice view.
