The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus on DVD and Blu-ray
Now with two Oscar nominations
The immortal Dr Parnassus (Plummer) holds the key to the Imaginarium, a wonderful place hidden in a ‘pop up’ travelling theatre, where people can explore the very depths of their imagination. But the Doctor has more hidden depths than his friends in the theatre troupe are aware of and his immortality has come at a price – the soul of his daughter Valentina (Cole). Unless Parnassus (Plummer) and Tony, the mysterious amnesiac whom he befriends (portrayed by Ledger plus Depp, Farrell and Law) can coax a few more souls to lose themselves in the Imaginarium, Valentina will become the prize in a deal that Parnassus has made with the Devil himself, Mr Nick. (Tom Waits)
Included in the extras is an introduction from Terry Gilliam and a poignant series of wardrobe and make up tests featuring Heath Ledger, plus a plethora of interesting behind the scenes featurettes which any fan of the film will want to investigate.
