...cinematographicaly speaking.
I remember being captivated by this when I was younger. I got into it from role-playing games and Monty Python.
It always stood out due to it's gross and cringe making humour and it's cruel and very bloody events.
I think if you come expecting a Python flick you will be disappointed.
It is closer in tone to Gilliams darker flicks. It reeks of a style and imagery that no other director has - rich in its visuals but laconic and obtuse in its portrayl of a mix of medieval fantasy horror and loaded with observations on the ridiculousness- and cruelty - of human nature.
And the camerawork is stomach churning and innovative for the time.
An oddly thought provoking and twisted fantasy.
