The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

It was a pretty "bizzare" fantasy show.which honestly, if it weren't for Heath Ledger and Johnny Depp, I would have skipped this movie.

The story runs that Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer), in exchange for immortality, makes a deal with the devil. There seems to be some competition as to the souls to claim as Doctor Parnassus runs his Imaginarium (which is controlled by his mind) where he lets people live their dreams but they have to make a choice. The wrong choice will lead them to hell. However, another part of the deal was that the child he fathers in his existence will have to be given to the devil when he/she turns 16. So it is that in the year his daughter is about to turn 16, there is a race to complete another wager (he seems to make a lot of bets with the devil, who is actually having fun with him).
The whole show seemed pretty weird, moving between worlds. Maybe it's to depict the state of mind and dreams. It felt a bit messy though. I think if it were not for the superb cast, the story wouldn't have held up.
