Complex Relationships, Whimsical, Grief, Coping

What a beautiful and hilarious story of friendship and redemption. Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges make the perfect odd couple. I thoroughly enjoyed how Terry Gilliam chose to adapt the story of The Fisher King and also how he chose to show Parry's grief and coping from his traumatic loss. Grief is such a personal emotion, different for everyone. An all-around great film.
