 DIR Terry Gilliam

Animation following a retired couple living in rural Britain facing the devastation of nuclear war.

'There have been enough post-holocaust nuclear winter films nearly to constitute a genre, but there has never been anything quite like veteran animator Murakami's version of Raymond Briggs' cartoon book.' Time Out

 

Richard Gere stars as a hornet player in 1920s Harlem who saves the life of a gangster but then becomes involved with the gangster's girl. An ambitious film which ultimately loses focus.

'Whatever it took to do it, Coppola has extracted a very special film out of the checkered history of this project.' Roger Ebert

 

 

 

 

 

 

Klaus Kinski stars as the Brazilian bandit, Cobra Verde in the actor's last collaboration with director Werner Herzog.

'The final third of this film contains sequences of horrifying sublimity and ethereal beauty, moments that have a clarity and power beyond the reach of reason.'  A.O. Scott

 

 

 

 

 

 

Terry Gilliam's follow up to Brazil is the director at his most ambitious.

'I was confused sometimes during "Baron Munchausen," and bored sometimes, but this is a vast and commodious work, and even allowing for the unsuccessful passages there is a lot here to treasure.' Roger Ebert
