This week we’re discussing a film that’s one of the most beautiful messes you’ll ever see. Beautiful, because it revels in medieval mythology while telling a story of redemption in our modern lives. Messy, because our director didn’t seem to care about creating a consistent, thorough world for his characters to live in. It’s a movie that doesn’t hold up as well on deeper scrutiny, and yet also hits you right in the heart with a truly lovely story and incredibly strong performances from some of the best actors in the business. If only Terry Gilliam had reigned himself in just a little bit, this would have been absolutely perfect. Grab your armor and weapons from the scrap heap as we watch The Fisher King on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
