- Synopsis
- Baron Munchausen is a character of European myth that might be considered the predecessor of American tales of Pecos Bill or Paul Bunyan. The Baron's stories are taken to be outrageous and fanciful lies. This is the origin of the name of the psychiatric diagnosis of "Munchausen's Syndrome", a particularly bizzare form of hypochondria.

-
"A beautiful, burgeoning, madly voluptuous movie from minute to minute and image to image"
-
"'Baron Munchausen'' is full of moments that dazzle (...) Nothing much happens, but you can't easily tear your eyes away from it"
-
"Gilliam has a vision and a viewpoint, and he puts it on screen with an extravagance, a humanistic generosity and a visual imagination that make it a standout in 1989's virtual cinematic vacuum"
-
"Excesses or not, I'm rabid to see this again"
