Movie Review

THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR PARNASSUS

If you haven't already done so, you MUST watch this movie called The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. It is amazing. Some of you might find it hard to digest, partly due to its twisted and other-worldly plot. But it is an experience like no other. Furthermore, Heath Ledger delivers well as lead, giving the final part of his acting career a magic touch. Be prepared to be dazzled by the sets and costumes and the wild imagination-scapes of Dr Parnassus, who was also a character well-delivered with a touch of edginess, albeit his 4-figure age; he is immortal. A splendid and freshly entertaining film. Don't be fooled by the uncanny Royston Tan resemblance of the art direction, though. This film actually exceeds standards. Oh and if you're excited because Johnny Depp is in it too, I'm sorry to say that he only appears in about five to ten minutes of the whole film, as with Jude Law. A great movie to catch over the weekend nonetheless.
