The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell

Ledger may be best remembered for his remarkable spin on the Joker in The Dark Knight, but his career is filled with under appreciated performances: Take another look at his screw up skate rat in Lords of Dogtown, to name just one. But we can respectfully say that the guy was certainly capable of, well, mediocrity. His final performance, completed for Terry Gilliam’s schlocky fantasy by surrogates Depp, Farrell, and Law, is a prime example. We blame Gilliam, who has explored this territory before, and much better, in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
