Plot

Baron Munchausen, an old storyteller, arrives in a besieged city in the eighteenth century and tells the story of his adventures, with a young girl, Sally, as his companion. They journey to the Moon, the belly of a giant fish and the volcano home of Vulcan, in a tale of imagination fighting against reason. John Neville and Eric Idle star.

Sinekatalog’s take

A chaotic, gorgeous fantasy that went wildly over budget and flopped, but is full of memorable images. It is uneven, and its sheer inventiveness is its best argument.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
