Director Terry Gilliam continues the fantastical tradition he began with inventive films such as TIME BANDITS and BRAZIL. This time, he re-teams with Heath Ledger of THE BROTHERS GRIMM, Christopher Plummer of 12 MONKEYS, Tom Waits of THE FISHER KING and throws in a dollop of Depp and a little bit of Verne Troyer to boot. This fantastical morality tale is set in the present-day and tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium’, a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom.
