The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus

I got a chance to see The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus today at the TIFF. (Toronto International Film Festival) For those of you who don't know this is Heath Ledger's final movie. The one that he was working on when he tragically died from an over dose. The movie was definitely interesting. I left the theater thinking about the various aspects of the movie.. and I am still doing it now, several hours later. For me that is a sign of a great movie. What I am thinking now is that I need to see this one again. I think that this is one of those movies that you will see more the second and third times you watch. The imagery was astounding.. cant wait to see this in HD. It reminded me ALOT of Pan's Labyrinth in that respect. I loved the solution the director was able to come up with in order to allow the film to be finished. Getting Heath's friends, Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Ferrill to each take on a different aspect of the main characters part was brilliant. The audience appreciated the tribute to Heath that was included at the end of the movie. This was a fitting tribute/end to a career that was on its way to being brilliant. It's a shame that we lost such a promising actor too soon.
