YesAsia Editorial Description
Plunging headfirst into history, director Terry Gilliam fearlessly brings the logic of children's fairy tales to bear as he navigates through myth and legend in a bizarre, ingenious retelling of THE WIZARD OF OZ. A boy and six good-natured little persons careen through time-twisting interactions with Napoleon, Robin Hood, and Agamemnon, among others, with a map the little people stole from their employer, the Supreme Being. But their intention is to rob their way through the past, which does not make their boss happy. Meanwhile, Evil is after the map in order to become the Supreme Being himself. The result is an extraordinarily visual extravaganza that overflows with Gilliam's ecstatic vision. The film is shot from a child's viewpoint, both through the character of Kevin and the placement of the camera. One of the morals of this thoroughly enjoyable, charming fantasy is that heroes aren't always all they're cracked up to be. Fun special effects and great supporting performances abound, including terrific turns by Ian Holm, John Cleese, Ralph Richardson, and especially David Warner as Evil.
"...BANDITS is good on technical virtuosity..."
- Pit. (Variety Film Critic), Variety, 07/22/1981
"...A cheerfully irreverent lark -- part fairy tale, part science fiction, part comedy..."
- Vincent, Canby (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 11/06/1981
"...[With] the funniest Robin Hood ever..."
- Mike, Clark (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 03/03/1995
"...The movie's as perversely entertaining as it ever was..."
- George, Kiritopoulos (Total Film Critic), Total Film, 08/01/2000
4 stars out of 5 -- "[E]very bit as much a marauding sensual riot as it is a history-hopping conundrum."
- Total Film Staff (Total Film Critic), Total Film, 09/01/2006
4 stars out of 4 -- "[A]n ingenious fantasy....[Gilliam's] most consistently entertaining..." - Michael, Bonner (Uncut Critic), Uncut, 10/01/2006
