Terry Gilliam's 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' is what I call, a future Hollywood Cult Classic. An interesting tale of a leader traveling theater troupe who, having made a deal with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations.
'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' which received two nominations at the Academy-Awards this year, will ensure a huge fan following in the coming years. As mentioned, a future cult classic for sure! Gillam's direction is simply awe-inspiring. His writing isn't, it has it's share of flaws, but he can be forgiven.
In the acting department, Christopher Plummer is fantastic, he steals the show with a controlled performance. A true legend! Late Heath Ledger is, as always, good. Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law's appearance makes you moist eyed, as they did this role of their late friend Ledger. Oh boy, what a emotional moment!
I recommend this film to everyone.... Thumbs Up!
