Dr. Parnassus cures insomnia!

Watching The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus is a mercurial affair. The visuals on the fantasy set pieces are great, but the story is either incoherent, undecided, or both at the same time. A shame really, since this film also stars the late Heath Ledger, and his character here is really undecipherable, so to sum it he is actually not engaging. All the characters too. You couldn't care less what happened to anyone of them. The "imaginarium" is the strongest suite of the movie. The imaginations of the people here are really colorful, which is ironic seeing as to how bland the story is. Shame, this movie could have been better.

 Terry Gilliam looks like Gandalf  though. Haha.

The Devil is actually a reasonable person here. Wow.
