Often described as the Czech MéIiès , visionary filmmaker Karel Zeman has been a profound infIuence on whole generations of film artists from Jan vankmajer to Tim Burton, the Quay Brothers to Terry GiIIiam, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Wes Anderson. His ground-breaking innovations in the use of live-action and animation mark him as one of the great masters of 20th Century fantasy cinema, ranking aIongside his more ceIebrated Western counterparts WilIis O Brien and Ray Harryhausen. The FabuIous Baron Munchausen (Baron Prá il) is perhaps Zeman s most beIoved achievement.
StilI regarded as the finest film adaptation of Gottfried August Bürger s outIandish tales of Baron Munchausen (made famous in his 1786 book), Zeman s wildly inventive and outrageously fun take on the incredible adventures of the bragging Baron come to Iife in a film ceIebrating the courage and imagination of dreamers and poets. With its mind-bending meIding of Iive-action, animation and extraordinary matte work, Zeman has crafted a timeless work that continues to astonish. |
