The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

2.5 stars
Fantasy
This film felt like a long, strange drug trip. Christopher Plummer runs a mobile ramshackle carnival act where all your strangest fantasies come true. Mix in a deal with the devil (Tom Waits), a beautiful jail-bait daughter (Lily Cole), and a stranger along for the ride (Heath Ledger) and you have one odd story. The fantasy trips through the Imaginarium were kinda cool. Out in the “real” world, the carnival act often stayed in the dingiest of areas which were a little depressing. This movie is only for those who enjoy strange, trippy movies.
