Imagine That

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus turned out to be as weird and strange as I was anticipating. Directed by Terry Gilliam, this is the movie Heath Ledger was working on before his untimely death, and Jude Law, Johnny Depp, and Colin Farrell got together to finish Ledger's scenes. The movie is very slow paced, and its two hours seem to run way longer than that. Still, it was so whimsy, imaginative, and crazy that it was fun to watch. Along with all the aforementioned actors, Christopher Plummer and Lily Cole did a wonderful job as Parnassus and his daughter, and Tom Waits as Mr. Nick was also very well cast.

While I don't think I'll feel compelled to watch this movie again, I don't regret having seen it, and if you're not afraid of what might come out of Terry Gilliam's mind, then I say you should check out Dr. Parnassus's wild imaginarium. You might see a few dreams come true!

Como ya comente en un post, una ida de cabeza total, pero visualmente muy espectacular.
