Movie – “The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus”

“Shot through with a bold, extravagant generosity of spirit, this journey behind the literal and figurative looking glass marks a gratifying return to form for Gilliam, whose recent films haven’t quite lived up to his capacities.” -Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

“Longtime fans who wondered if Gilliam had simply run out of steam should have a grand time.” -Daniel M. Kimmel, NorthShoreMovies.net

In modern London, a centuries old carriage stops randomly to present sixteenth century style entertainment. The very old man (Christopher Plummer) who runs the show is carrying a great weight – a deal he with Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) for youth in immortality is about to come due on the sixteenth birthday of his only daughter, Valentina (sweetheart faced Lily Cole). His herald, Anton (Andrew Garfield), who has loved her from afar, must try to seduce five souls before his boss’s newest player Tony (Heath Ledger), in order to win her within “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.” Completed after Ledger’s untimely death, the film, by ex-Python Terry Gilliam, features Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, the film is a tribute both to the late actor and the film’s visionary creator, the director of such cult favorites as “Brazil” and “The Fisher King.”
