The Brothers Grimm is a twisted tale worth seeing

The Brothers Grimm

Director: Terry Gilliam

Cast: Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Anna Rust, Barbara Lukesova

Not Jacob and Wilhelm, but Jake and Will; a curious, but satisfying, fiction revolving around the famous German brothers.

Damon and Ledger play a couple of folklore collectors who travel - and con - their way from village to village who must eventually face their own lack of genuine courage by confronting dark deeds in a haunted forest.

It's directed with style by Gilliam and has that special-something look he brings to all his highly inventive films.

Star Rating: 4/5
