The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present-day. It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium’, a travelling show where members of ...( read more

It must be really strange to live inside Terry Gilliam's head. But watching this film is probably the closest anyone else could ever come to being there. There is much of this film that is a little bit less-then-engaging, but the dreamscapes that Gilliam paints in the world beyon...( read more)
This just in: don't make deals with the devil.
The story behind "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is widely publicized, even tiresome now - halfway through filming, Heath Ledger tragically passed away. Too far along for it to be financially viable to reshoot, world-acclaimed...( read more)
This film is incomplete. Therefore, it's rather difficult to rate. However, I must give credit to the brilliant Heath Ledger.
The scenery and effects are interesting, the little you see of Johnny Depp is good, Tom Waits and Christopher Plummer are good as usual, but the whole t...( read more)
An ancient miracle worker with a travelling sideshow fallen on hard times makes a deal with the devil for the soul of his daughter. Tom Waits is quite good as Old Nick and the visuals are impressive, but laughs are oddly lacking and Plummer's Parnassus fails to garner a lot of e...( read more)
Visually, the movie was gorgeous. The storyline was less impressive. It was unfortunate that they had to bring in Depp, Farrell and Law as I felt Ledger did a great job in the role. However, I have yet to fault Depp - he small performance was quite humorous. What made this movie ...( read more)
This film will go down in history as the one where Heath Ledger dies before finishing shooting and who's missing scenes were filled in by Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp. It will not, however, go down as a film worth seeing. Doc Parny somehow cannot help himself from maki...( read more)
Sorry Heath men denna film va inte så...b.ra..... speciellt inte för att vara från vännerna....
men sen så kanske det var så Heath var som person och det passar honom.... vad vet jag :/
Il s'agit donc du dernier film dans lequel Heath Ledger a joué, mais il ne l'a jamais terminé. Voir ce film n'est pas tout à fait comme voir "Game of death" avec Bruce Lee, vu qu'il est mort pendant le tournage il a été "remplacé" par des doublures et, pire, des images d'autres f...( read more)
I attended the Cannes screening of Doctor Parnassus to be baffled, which I was, and then the Chicago press screening, where I had an idea what was coming and tried to reopen my mind. full review
Though rambling and at times self-indulgent, its wit and pageantry, boosted by Heath Ledger's final performance, render it irresistible. full review
It meanders and jaywalks according to its own confused rhythms, and the suggestion is that if we don't get it -- or if we get bored -- we're just not clued in to Gilliam's genius. full review
Despite a shaky framework, the magic works. It's a chance to see Ledger one last time in the act of doing what he loved. Take it. full review
Unsuccessfully attempts to fashion an actual story out of slapdash, seemingly improvised sequences awash in uneven CG effects. full review
[Gilliam] can follow any train of thought, so he does, and it's no surprise when the trains run out of steam. full review
An overdone blow-out of a modern fairy tale. full review
I got to see this film at Fantastic Fest this past year as one fo the secret screenings and it's perfection. YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM. It's boarderline perfection and could be the best picture of the year.
This one is his last movie. Realy! Heath got separated from Michelle when he finished THE DARK KNIGHT...he was on NY to rest then got a call from Hollywood to film 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'. Then he start filming this movie knowing he wasnt feeling realy good. And he was started to feel bad, sick, even he cannot even sleep and we know the end of it...Y_Y. But I know this guys (Colin, Jude and Depp) will defenetly put their effort to make this Heath's film a masterpiece! VIVA LEDGER!!!!

I pray to God that Heath Ledger's death does not completely prevent this film from being made. As tragic as Ledger's death is, I don't think I can take dealing with another Gilliam project being dropped.
