While we await word on which distributor will eventually bring us director/misfortune-magnet Terry Gilliam’s fantasy THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS, we can catch a few glimpses and heed or ignore the mixed response from Cannes (where, frankly, almost everything seems to get a mixed response).
Below are some scenes (via Aftonbladet and Comme au Cinema) from the strange tale, including a look at Heath Ledger’s final performance, a glimpse at a forboding fortress, and Andrew Garfield attempting to woo the alienish Lily Cole.
The story follows a man who encounters a bizarre traveling theater company and visits parallel worlds through a magic mirror.
