About this product

Product Information

Plunging headfirst into history, director Terry Gilliam fearlessly brings the logic of children's fairy tales to bear as he navigates through myth and legend in a bizarre, ingenious retelling of THE WIZARD OF OZ. A boy and six good-natured little persons careen through time-twisting interactions with Napoleon, Robin Hood, and Agamemnon, among others, with a map the little people stole from their employer, the Supreme Being. But their intention is to rob their way through the past, which does not make their boss happy. Meanwhile, Evil is after the map in order to become the Supreme Being himself. The result is an extraordinarily visual extravaganza that overflows with Gilliam's ecstatic vision. The film is shot from a child's viewpoint, both through the character of Kevin and the placement of the camera. One of the morals of this thoroughly enjoyable, charming fantasy is that heroes aren't always all they're cracked up to be. Fun special effects and great supporting performances abound, including terrific turns by Ian Holm, John Cleese, Ralph Richardson, and especially David Warner as Evil.

  • still great

    This remains a great entertaining film. The Divimax version is the best dvd version. Good picture, sound and a load of extras. I prefer it to the older blu-ray version which was a mess. The newer Criterion blu-ray version is supposedly excellent but being you can find the Divimax for 2 bucks and the Criterion runs 20+, I just picked up the Divimax.

  • Fecking awesome...

    The map included insude is worth the price of the whole DVD and some...obviously you have to have a connection to this movie and therefore a connection to the map so this purchase is a great value to my wallet and to my love of our modern myths...
