The last film in our Dollar Bin movie series! (There was one more but the disc was scratched.) The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is our first Terry Gilliam film, and I can't believe it took this long to talk about him. Coming off the failure to finish his Don Quixote adaptation Terry Gilliam spins a modern fairy tale about an immortal storyteller who has three days to get out of a deal with the Devil, or lose his daughter forever. The arrival of a dark stranger could be the advantage he needs, or the final nail that damns them all forever. Host Wyndham Jennings talks about the inspirations behind the film, the troubled production, and the unbelievable idea to recast Heath Ledger's final role with THREE separate actors. Then we answer the Most Important Question of All... Was It Entertaining?
So join us for another walk through the weird, wild, wacky, wonderful world of overlooked and underappreciated movies with Celluloid Fever Dreams
