THE FISHER KING

"Working within the constraints of a big studio film has brought out Gilliam's best: he's become a true storyteller and a wonderful director of actors. This time he delights not only the eye but the soul." -David Ansen, Newsweek

"So what if it's not perfect? It's magic." -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"THE FISHER KING has two actors at the top of their form, and a compelling, well-directed and well-produced story." -Variety

Terry Gilliam's magical reworking of an Arthurian legend. Robin Williams is Parry, a homeless history professor who lives in a fantasy world full of castles, Red Knights and damsels in distress. Jeff Bridges co-stars as Jack, New York's #1 shock deejay, whose off-hand arrogance triggers a tragedy which ruins his career. Penniless and without prospects, Jack finds himself plucked from disaster by the most improbable of saviors... Parry. And so the amazing story of the Fisher King unfolds a modern quest for redemption and the Holy Grail, filled with humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance. Amanda Plummer and Mercedes Ruehl co-star this comic masterpiece.
