Trailer for Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Heath Ledger’s final film, with Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law standing in as ‘aspects’ of Ledger’s character’s personality. Looks very Gilliamesque, with shades of Münchhausen.
Oh wow – looks good!
Terry Gillam must have been on crack when he created this, I don’t know what he was trying to do. Also Imdb gave it a rating of 7.4….? It failed to engage me. It makes a good comedy though, especially Lily Cole’s acting. The only thing that struck me about her was her rack. I’m sure every man watching the movie was picturing sucking on those things.
Yeah, it wasn’t very good. Probably didn’t help that Ledger died midway through filming but it’s still hard to see how it could have been improved. I ought to write up a big old rant about it like I usually do with films that disappoint me, but, as you say, Lily Cole’s enormous rack does count for a lot.
