Zavvi

Often described as the Czech Méliès , visionary filmmaker Karel Zeman has been a profound influence on whole generations of film artists from Jan vankmajer to Tim Burton, the Quay Brothers to Terry Gilliam, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Wes Anderson. His ground-breaking innovations in the use of live-action and animation mark him as one of the great masters of 20th Century fantasy cinema, ranking alongside his more celebrated Western counterparts Willis O Brien and Ray Harryhausen. The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (Baron Prá il) is perhaps Zeman s most beloved achievement.Still regarded as the finest film adaptation of Gottfried August Bürger s outlandish tales of Baron Munchausen (made famous in his 1786 book), Zeman s wildly inventive and outrageously fun take on the incredible adventures of the bragging Baron come to life in a film celebrating the courage and imagination of dreamers and poets. With its mind-bending melding of live-action, animation and extraordinary matte work, Zeman has crafted a timeless work that continues to astonish.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTSThe Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1961) Presented from a new 4K restoration from original materials by the Karel Zeman Museum and the Czech National Film ArchiveNew and exclusive filmed appreciation by writer, editor and film historian Michael Brooke.Karel Zeman and the World featuretteThe Birth of a Film Legend featuretteWhy Zeman Made the Film featuretteThe CastZeman's Special Effects TechniquesKarel Zeman: The Legend Continues featuretteBooklet featuring a new essay on the film by journalist and critic Graham WilliamsonNew and improved English subtitle translation.Original Czech soundtrack in Dual Mono 24-bit LPCM audio
