Comments

saw a preview... and SEE IT!, 13 August 2005 Author: theroaringgirl from United States Not quite the story of the Brothers Grimm I know, but Terry Giliam and his awesome crew did an amazing job of telling a fairy tale. Matt Damon and Heat Ledger do the job as the Brothers. You'll find yourself listing the fairy stories as they either are told or happen. Glorious. Set in the Germany of Napoleonic France, the Brothers are set a task by the Delatombe (Jonathon Pryce), the Brothers find themselves inside an enchanted town beset by a supernatural evil that they must overcome despite interference by their French watcher and the French Army. Sleeping Beauty with a twist. In true Gilliam style, there are some quick, blink and you miss them sight gags. Shot in Prague, Czech Republic, the film is dark, yet beautiful.
