Terry Gilliam’s latest movie brings back the Gilliam that we know and love (even though we all forgave him for The Brothers Grimm).  I saw this last week, and it was everything you want from one of his movies and more.

Aside from the clever work-around Gilliam came up with to substitute Heath Ledger’s character after his unfortunate and unexpected death, it’s impossible to resist anything that has Tom Waits playing the Devil.

   Ahh, I want to see it so bad! I’m sure there’s a theatre playing it in Austin, I’m just SO broke right now.

   I’m not sure that it has started its wide release yet! It opened in NY & LA around Christmas, and is due to have a nationwide theatrical release sometime in January.

   I absolutely loved this movie. I’m thinking of going to see it again by myself, it’s just so gorgeous to look at.

   It seems so awesome. But I’ve never even seen trailers of this movie in my country. What’s going on? =/

   Yes, this film was out at the beginning of Autumn for the UK at least. I saw the last screening in London’s Leicster Square on my birthday in a posh cinema with big comfy seats! It is beautiful and visually stunning whilst some suprising acting talents.

   Plus, Tom Waits is God. I mean.. the Devil. I mean……. AWESOME!

   And Lily Cole makes my knees weak. Hrrrhrhrhrhrhrhrrr….

    But I enjoyed The Brothers Grimm!

    I totally fell in love with The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I saw it last month at a little, local cinema. Didn’t get a very wide release here (Melbourne, Australia). What gives?!

    Youre so right. Im there with you. Your blog is surely worth a read if anyone comes throughout it. Im lucky I did because now Ive received a whole new view of this. I didnt realise that this issue was so important and so universal. You unquestionably put it in perspective for me.
