The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Terry Gilman, director of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, is back with a new film. In addition to providing a final nostalgic performance from Heath Ledger, Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus looks simply fascinating. Oddly enough, Ledger shares his role (Tony) with three other actors: Johnny Depp, Collin Farell and Jude Law. An impressive lineup to be sure, but how about those visuals? (See 0:30 as Ledger jumps from one floating platform to another.) Push play to share in our excitement.

Just keep running, like the little girl from Forrest Gump said. Maybe I can hide up there in the chicken coop. But the air – it’s so thick; and if I just had a moment’s breathe. And as you start to slow by the bridge, you hear the sound of the giant footsteps return. Panicked, you realize that you have no option but to jump. You take the plunge; but the giant follows. It’s a highway duel, and now, your only option is a dangerous one. You take the high road; and from that point on it was all adrenaline. And space was removed from time until the chase became a vacuum of thought and sound. Will the giant make his move, running away in laughter?
