The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus 3D SBS 2009

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus 3D SBS 2009 is a fantasy film directed by Terry Gilliam. The movie is particularly notable for its distinctive production and the tragic circumstances that happened to lead singer Heath Ledger during filming.

The narrative is about Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer), an immortal and mystical showman who heads a traveling theater troupe. Parnassus possesses a magic mirror that allows people to enter a fantastical realm within their own imagination. However, Parnassus finds himself caught up in a deal with the devil, Mr. Nick, and must fulfill his role by sacrificing his daughter Valentina on her sixteenth birthday.

When Valentina turns sixteen, the troupe meets a mysterious amnesiac named Tony (Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell in various roles due to Ledger's untimely death during filming). Tony becomes involved in a bet between Parnassus and Mr. Nick, which leads to a series of surreal and visually exciting journeys through the characters' imaginations.

The movie interweaves elements of fantasy, dark comedy and adventure, showcasing Terry Gilliam's unique visual style.  It serves as both a tribute to Ledger's talent and a testament to the resilience of the directing team.
