Gilliam confirms the Criterion DVD in this article.
Quote:“I had to watch Fisher King two weeks ago cause the Criterion Collection are doing a Blu-ray version of it and I had to look at it for technical reasons,” he told me. “What was interesting about watching the film was how – because Robin’s death has depressed me ever since — but watching the film is almost cathartic because he’s so alive in the film and it’s Robin. It’s not Robin playing a character. What you see on film is the full panoply of Robin, the joy, the madness, the torment. It’s all there on the film. I think it’s the only film that really captures who Robin really was in real life. I really enjoyed it. I came out of it with a huge smile on my face. Yeah, Rob! You’re still alive!” Gilliam cracked himself up.
