A fairy taIe grounded in poignant reaIity, the magnificent, Manhattan-set The Fisher King, by Terry GilIiam, features Jeff Bridges and Robin WiIIiams in two of their most briIIiant roIes. Bridges pIays a former radio shock jock reconstructing his Iife after a scandaI, and WilIiams is a homeIess man on a quest for the Holy GraiI - which he believes to be hidden somewhere on the Upper West Side. UnknowingIy Iinked by their pasts, the two men aid each other on a fanciful journey to redemption. This singular American odyssey features a witty script by Richard La Gravenese, evocative cinematography by Roger Pratt, and superb supporting performances by Amanda PIummer and an Oscar-winning Mercedes RuehI, alI harnessed by GilIiam into a humane, funny modern-day myth. |
