Overview

A philosophical and poetic portrait of the famous (or maybe infamous?) Baron Munchhausen. His crazy, yet very merriment, stories, views and behavior is what sets him apart from others. He becomes alienated from the society that failed to grasp his brilliance. In fact, his brilliance is what underlines the faults with the society itself. It's a beautiful yet tragic story that is filled with dense and intellectual dialogue.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A dreamlike meditation on a visionary outsider whose towering imagination and refusal to accept mundane reality mark him as both brilliant and tragic. Intellectually dense and visually poetic, it's a film that luxuriates in philosophy and performance as much as plot.
