The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus


A visually wondrous movie with a story that's all over the place and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm sure Ledger dying in the middle altered the story somewhat, but I still think this is what Gilliam had in mind when he started. I really couldn't recall the story to anyone other than the absolute basics even after watching the movie 5 minutes ago, but I can recall how imaginative and creative Gilliam's film was. It has great production values with some decent performances. You watch it for the visual spectacle and to see Ledger's final performance. There's nothing else really to the film, but that's fine by me. It was 2 hours well spent.
