Heath Ledger's final movie....
If you thought the Dark Knight was Ledgers final moment of glory, think again...
Roll up, roll up !!
For Terry Gilliam's most wondrous fantasy, being the story of a travelling show and its proprietor Dr Parnassus (Christopher Plummer), a mind-reader with an unfortunate habit of gambling with the Devil (Tom Waits). Their first bet made Parnassus immortal. But their latest is about to cost his daughter her soul. High time, then, for another wager... In his last role, Heath Ledger plays the joker in Fate's pack, a disgraced entrepreneur who assumes a different face (namely those of Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell) whenever he enters the surreal world of the Imaginarium.
Terry Gilliam's latest stream of sub-consciousness will be chiefly sought and remembered for Heath Ledger's swansong.
Or will it?
Answer's on a postcard please.
