It seems more than fitting that as we come to the close of yet another decade, that I share with you a film as visually imaginative and inventive as one that made its debut and helped kick off this decade, and the one that still reigns as my all time favorite film, \u201cMoulin Rouge!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Now, instead of the fertile imagination of Baz Luhrmann, we are treated to that of the wild and wacky Terry Gilliam who brings us THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS, a sumptuous vision that embraces the beauty, spectacle and kaleidoscopic psychedelic vibrancy of Luhrmann\u2019s \u201cMoulin Rouge!\u201d and the lush hued richness of Rafi Mercado\u2019s work in \u201cManuela Y Manuel\u201d with the intricate artistic feminine laciness of a Dickensian Valentine card.\u00a0 The result?\u00a0\u00a0 A fantastical whimsical eye-popping visual delight that you will want to see over and over again.<\/p>\n

Faustian in its origin, this is the story of Doctor Parnassus.\u00a0 An aging former monk filled with all the mysticism and magic of the ages, in his youth Parnassus sought what so many ponder and desire- immortality, eternal life.\u00a0 Unsatisfied with his own gift of being able to transport and guide the imaginations of others through his mind, Parnassus continued to seek that timeless connection with the universe, spending countless hours striving to reach what he believed was his Nirvana.\u00a0 Travelling deep within his own mind, he struggled and struggled to attain that higher plateau but without success.\u00a0\u00a0 For you see, Dr. Parnassus was not totally pure of heart and spirit.\u00a0 He had a flaw.\u00a0 A major flaw.\u00a0 He was an inveterate gambler.\u00a0 And who better to know this than the Devil himself.\u00a0 Appearing one day to Parnassus in the guise of a bowler-wearing dapper, albeit slightly strange man named Mr. Nick, Parnassus made a deal that was too good to refuse, a deal that would grant him his immortality.\u00a0 But even with immortality, one physically ages.\u00a0 So what does one do when they are centuries old and the love of your life appears before them?\u00a0 Do you walk away because she turns a blind eye and deaf ear?\u00a0 Or do you call upon Mr. Nick again?\u00a0 For Parnassus, he took the only route he knew and made another deal with the Devil, this time exchanging his immortality for youth with the added caveat that when Parnassus\u2019 daughter (and yes, he would have a daughter with this beautiful woman, a daughter named Valentina) arrived at her 16th<\/sup> birthday, she would become the property of Mr. Nick.<\/p>\n

\"parnassus_1\"<\/p>\n

Fast forward to the 21stt<\/sup> Century.\u00a0 The world is not what it was those centuries ago.\u00a0 People have changed.\u00a0 Fashion has changed.\u00a0 Values have changed.\u00a0 Technology is booming.\u00a0 The world is moving along at a fast and furious pace.\u00a0 But what\u2019s this?\u00a0 An oddity among the ages?\u00a0 Rumbling down the street is a horse drawn wagon that looks as if lost by the gypsies or a travelling minstrel show.\u00a0 Slowly the wagon stops and right before your very eyes, a stage appears.\u00a0 A stage filled with light and color and beauty.\u00a0 A stage with the beautiful cherubic Valentina with skin the color of the finest alabaster,\u00a0 an old swami named Parnassus settled deep into a trance, a jester named Percy, and a tall lanky young man named Anton calling out \u201cCome one, come all to the imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus\u201d,\u00a0 and a mirror, a tall, flowing mirror made of aluminum foil.\u00a0 \u201cLook behind the mirror.\u00a0 Step into the mirror.\u00a0 Step into your imagination.\u201d\u00a0 Well, this manner and method of showmanship may have worked in the days of the Wizard of Oz or 19th<\/sup> Century London, but not know…at least not without a little bit of help.<\/p>\n

\"parnassus_2\"<\/p>\n

As our little troupe moves on its way, something miraculous happens.\u00a0 Valentina spies a young man hanging by a noose beneath Blackfriars Bridge.\u00a0 Pure in heart and mind, she determines to save him from what appears to be suicide.\u00a0 Dressed in a dapper cream suit, as Valentina gazes upon his face, she is immediately smitten with him, much to Anton\u2019s chagrin as it seems he is more than smitten with Valentina.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And none of this pleases Parnassus as the clock is ticking down to Valentina\u2019s 16th<\/sup> birthday and her betrothal to Mr. Nick.\u00a0 Is he willing to lose his daughter to the Devil and destroy any chance of her happiness?\u00a0 Or is Parnassus willing to make one final deal with Mr. Nick, a deal that would make them even, a deal that would exchange five souls for her one?\u00a0 A deal that would have to be completed before the clock strikes 12 on Valentina\u2019s birthday which is now two days away?<\/p>\n

\"parnassus_3\"<\/p>\n

While Parnassus wrestles with his conscience and does his own wheeling and dealing, Tony, a huckster and con man at heart, who is nevertheless grateful for Valentina saving his life, has his own agenda.\u00a0 Though full of ideas to help save Parnassus and his travelling troupe, this isn\u2019t about selflessness.\u00a0 Tony sees this as not just way to get closer to Valentina, but a way for him to amass all the riches he so desperately desires.\u00a0 Planning to bilk every rich lonely woman in London of her money, furs and jewels, and keep a large percentage for himself, Tony\u2019s plans also change once he enters the mirror and the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.<\/p>\n

\"parnassus_4\"<\/p>\n

Heath Ledger, in this is final role, is adequate and entertaining as Tony. As we all know, Ledger died while filming, leaving writer\/director Terry Gilliam with more than a quandry over how to complete the project.\u00a0 Thankfully, Gilliam worked his own magic and called on three friends of both himself and Ledger for a little help.\u00a0\u00a0 Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell all step behind the mirror to play out the parts of Tony behind the mirror.\u00a0 Mesmerizing sequences all, thanks to dreamlike sequences and creativity, their appearances never seem out of place or disbelievable.\u00a0 Colin Farrell does a wonderful job with the darkest and most heinous part of Tony\u2019s psyche.\u00a0 Physically and emotionally challenging, he is both smarmy and charming at the same time.\u00a0 Jude Law enters as a romantic in a very Daliesque type sequence.\u00a0 But it is Depp who steals the show.\u00a0 He is too die for as the gigolo womanizer.\u00a0 Engaging and fun, there is more than a hint of Jack Sparrow with his playfulness both to his female companions and to the camera. The most energetic, dynamic and sexy of the incarnations of Tony, he draws you ever deeper into the mind maze.\u00a0 And fact that he is in a fantasy involving a never ending supply of stilettos is certainly a fantasy of most every woman out there.\u00a0 Johnny Depp and a world of shoes?\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t get much better than this!\u00a0 Or does it?<\/p>\n

\"parnassus_5_-_depp\"<\/p>\n

Christopher Plummer is magnificent as Parnassus.\u00a0 With a wisdom beyond his years both on and off the screen, he is an embodiment of immortality.\u00a0 But take a look at Lily Cole!\u00a0 Making her film debut as Valentina, Cole is a beauteous wonder worthy of a place among the Muses.\u00a0 Jumping into a film with the likes of Gilliam, Plummer and Ledger, according to Cole, her greatest challenge was \u201cbeing faced with these incredibly talented and experienced actors and being thrown in their mix and trying to swim.\u00a0 That was quite daunting.\u00a0 Then coming back after Heath died, those were incredibly difficult for me and I think for everybody.\u00a0 And playing against Colin [Farrell] who was playing Tony and I was playing Valentina and trying to keep that relationship oblivious to the fact that something so tragic had happened.\u00a0 That was probably the most challenging part of it.\u201d\u00a0 Not to be missed are Verne Troyer as Percy and Tom Waits as Mr. Nick,\u00a0 a part that almost seems custom made for him.<\/p>\n

When I think of Terry Gilliam, the word \u201cgenius\u201d always comes to mind.\u00a0 One of the men behind the legendary Monty Python, it is his imagination that has captivated and captured the world for decades.\u00a0 (A visionary himself, he had the foresight to own the Python properties).\u00a0 And now with THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS, we are privy to even a greater part of that genius.\u00a0 Described by Cole as having \u201cso much knowledge of lots of cultures, lots of religions, lots of art. . . He is so Faustian and Prospero and all these different references that he\u2019s pulled together\u201d which lends to the \u201chuge amount of visual culture that gets pulled into [IMAGINARIUM].\u201d<\/p>\n

\"parnassus_7_-_farrel\"<\/p>\n

Technically, the film is impeccable thanks to the elaborate visual effects which were initially drawn by Gilliam.\u00a0 The worlds created for each individual who enters the imaginarium are absolutely mind boggling.\u00a0 Stunning.\u00a0 Colorful.\u00a0 Fantastical.\u00a0 Whimsical.\u00a0 Beautiful.\u00a0 And even, frighteningly dark.\u00a0\u00a0 Great care is paid to color and texture.\u00a0 A fan of wide angle lenses, Gilliam believes in a 360 degree approach to framing and together with cinematographer Nicola Pecorini, surmounted the challenges of such a shoot, to bring the very immersive visuals of the imaginarium to life.\u00a0 Celebrating imagination, for the first time in many a film, Gilliam storyboarded the film himself.\u00a0 Admitting the story of Parnassus to be \u201cvaguely related to mine\u201d, Gilliam believes one of the central themes of the story is to\u00a0 \u201cinspire… encourage [others] to open their eyes, to appreciate the truth of the world.\u201d.\u00a0 Co-written with Charles McKeown, much of the script was still ad-libbed, a fact which Gilliam attributes to Ledger who was fresh off playing the Joker and \u201che was just full of ideas and fresh dialogue…and inventive.\u201d\u00a0 Unfortunately, I believe a bit too much ad-libbing occurred as there are blatantly obvious story holes as to the morality issues involved in the plot.\u00a0\u00a0 However, given the visual beauty, one can\u2019t help but be forgiving of this shortcoming and still enjoy the film as a whole.\u00a0 Adapting to Ledger\u2019s death, only a few scenes were either removed or rewritten \u201cin the real world\u201d.\u00a0 CGI was then just adapted for the entry of Depp, Farrell and Law.<\/p>\n

\"parnassus_9\"<\/p>\n

I applaud the work of Production Designer Anastasia Masaro, Visual Effects Supervisor Richard Bain and Costume Designer, Monique Prudhomme, all of whose works imbibe the very essence of imagination.\u00a0\u00a0 As for Prudhomme, she has a fan in Lily Cole who still wants to wear in real life a beauteous green velvet dress designed for her.<\/p>\n

Given that this is Ledger\u2019s last role, I would be remiss not to mention some thought from one his final co-stars, Lily Cole.\u00a0 \u201cI think I learned a lot from him as a person and how that kind of person is reflected in his art.\u00a0\u00a0 He was just an extraordinary source of energy and commitment and fearlessness and generosity and that person I met just applied that all into his craft of acting and give 100%.\u00a0 Be generous with the other actors and be generous with himself and to his character.\u00a0 Whenever you meet somebody who is quite remarkable and quite inspiring, that bears an influence if you allow it to, if you are inspired by that, rather than any particular little scribbled down technique.\u201d<\/p>\n

A cinematic stage that can only be described as a pantheon of visual delights, let your imagination run wild and enter THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS.<\/p>\n
