The Fisher King @ IMDb

This is a great movie.

It's about Jack, a radio DJ who makes a terrible mistake, causing a guy to kill a lot of people. And it's about Parry, a homeless guy whose wife was killed in the accident Jack was indirectly responsible for.

I don't want to tell too much about the plot, so I'll leave it at this.

The acting is REALLY REALLY good, both by Jack (Jeff Bridges) and Parry (Robin Williams) as well as the supporting cast.

It has a really deep layer of darkish humour and the cinematography is stunning Happy2

A MUST SEE! 9.5/10

(somehow, I had the idea I'd read about this movie on here, but I couldn't find a review, so maybe it was in the Get to know new movies thread or something Razz

)

I think my liking it so much had something to do with the timing of watching it, I really was in the mood for this kind of movie and it blew my mind Happy2
