The Fisher King, directed by Terry Gilliam, is a surreal, deeply human journey through guilt, grief, and the stories we tell ourselves to get by. When a disgraced radio shock jock’s world collides with that of a detested stranger, an unlikely bond upends the fragile perceptions they rely on.
Featuring extraordinary performances from Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams, the film transforms the urban landscape into a world of quests, romantic delusions, and unexpected beauty. Filled with Gilliam’s special brand of humor and dreamlike imagery, the film offers an uplifting meditation on compassion and the truths that reveal themselves when sanity is turned upside down. The Fisher King remains one of the most distinctive and emotionally resonant films of the 1990s.
Hosted by Asa Fox, a filmmaker from Hollywood, California. Asa will offer a brief introduction to Terry Gilliam’s distinctive filmmaking style and his evolving relationship with the film industry, touching on how changes in Hollywood shape the movies we get to see. The screening will be followed by an open discussion.
