The Fisher King (1991)


A comedy drama directed by Terry Gilliam, starring Robin Williams.
A radio host takes a call from a disturbed man and encourages him to acts of violence. When the disturbed man goes into a restaurant with a gun, a teacher's wife is killed. The teacher goes crazy and the radio host loses his job. Being depressed with his life, the radio host prepares to kill himself, but is interrupted by men who want to burn him. He is saved by the teacher, who is now homeless and on a quest for the holy grail. The radio host believes that if he can help the teacher, his life will get better too.
Robin Williams has a great role in this film. Being crazy is what he does best. The plot and characters were good and it was made in a "goldylocks zone" of style and production value. There's not much else to say so I'm rating it good.
