"The Brothers Grimm" (2005)
The tale revolves around legendary German fairytale scribes Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The story focuses on the brothers as they travel from village to village pretending to protect townsfolk from enchanted creatures and pulling off exorcisms - hoaxes they've created themselves. The duo is put to the test when they encounter a real magical curse requiring genuine courage.
Terry Gilliam doesn't normally make films meant to appease the masses. He seems to have reconciled himself to the fact there's a large section of the movie-going public who don't get his work and he usually doesn't even attempt to cater to those who aren't fans. But with "The Brothers Grimm," there's an uneasy undertone that left me feeling like I'd witnessed a compromise on the filmmaker's part.
