Review of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) by Lara C — 31 Oct 2013
Odd. Interesting. Imaginative. Weird.
The film follows the leader of a traveling theater troupe who, having made a deal with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations.
Heath Ledger star in the film, though Ledger's death one-third of the way through filming caused production to be temporarily suspended. Ledger's role was recast with Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell portraying transformations of Ledger's character Tony as he travels through a dream world.
I like it, in a way. It?s different. Imaginative. Great set of actors. Interesting music. Nice special effects. Cool costumes.

Dr. Parnassus: He's early.

Tony: Don't believe everything you read. Especially The Mirror.
