The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a 1988 fantasy adventure film co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam, starring John Neville, Eric Idle, Sarah Polley, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman, Jonathan Pryce and Valentina Cortese.

An international co-production of the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany, the film is based on the tall tales of the 18th-century German nobleman, Baron Munchausen, and his wartime exploits against the Ottoman Empire.

I love this film. Terry Gilliam is one of my favorite directors. Can't believe this is from 1988.

Always loved this movie - wonderfully bizarre. And Uma Thurman in one of her first film roles as Venus was life changing :)

This is really good! Sarah Polley is 9 years old in it, but it was obvious even at that age, that she would become important later.

Yes!

Sorry, is she well known now?

She's not a top level celebrity but I'd say she is known, especially in Canada. And someone can be important without being well known. According to Wikipedia, she has retired from acting but is still writing and directing films.

She won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Women Talking (2022), which she wrote and directed. It was also nominated for Best Picture.
