The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus

There is always The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus (Terry Gilliam) which along with every other film he’s made has divided opinions. The story is that of the eponymous indeterminately aged Dr Parnassus. He makes a deal with the Devil that he can get five people to choose the right path by midnight, if he fails the Devil gets his daughter’s soul. Anyway, this was Heath Ledger’s last film and he looked like he enjoyed himself making this. He plays Tony, a confidence trickster and a big fat liar. I can’t think of another Tony like that! His character is also played by Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp; filling when Ledger couldn’t. May 2010
