The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:

Lets get down to business, this movie was downright weird. Confusing as all hell with a twist of pure insanity to mix. Heath Ledger whom turns into Collin Farrel and Jude Law... O did I mention also Johnny Depp? A Dr. whom finds entertainment with the devil by making bets with him for souls.

The devil whom granted the Dr. immortality in exchange for his first born once he or she hit 16, loves smoking, exceedingly so and also loves rigging the bets to his favor, but not to win, o no.. To tie.

The movie is awkward enough to have you scratching your heads, and crazy enough to make you think what the fuck was the writer / director thinking. Walk into a mirror and view deep into your own imagination, walk into it with two people and the stronger imagination takes over, making it either a nightmare for the other, or a blissful moment.

Did I mention Vern Troyer was in this movie? O yes, he plays the doctors faithful sidekick, whom always says, "What would I do without you?" Percy [Vern Troyer's character replies] "You could always get a midget.]

I would say watch it, the camera shots are not bad, the acting is not terrible either and the story once it actually develops gets you into it. The CG also for the imagination scenes are pretty incredible, very nice to look at and also very well done.

7 / 10 [Confusing as all hell... lol]
