I attempted to watch the one Gilliam film that I had not yet seen: “The Brothers Grimm.”
I love a good theatrical forest set (in parts) and the subject should have appealed to me but sorry to say that it all felt so choppy, unfocused and way too broad in its performances. Shame.
I had heard that around the time of the film’s release that it had been compromised in a fight between its director and the Weinsteins.
For a much better film dealing with fairy tales (& woodland sets) is Neil Jordan’s “The Company of Wolves.’ Sexual awakening via werewolf myths.
However, upon reading up on “The Brothers Grimm,” I did stumble upon lots of beautiful production art created for the film by artist Guy Dyas. Early CG effects aside, the film certainly looked good.
