Hes also a funny guy, with an eye for absurd comedic situations as befits a former Python.
There is no other filmmaker like him, really.
Nor is there really another film likeThe Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus.
This, amongst other well-publicised factors, is no doubt why it has been so long awaited.
When it flies, it really flies, but when it wanes, the lull is amplified exponentially.
What Im about to say is, probably, bordering on blasphemy.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
There you have it, I said it.
I have simply never been able to suspend myself for him, and certainly not here.
Heath Ledger never had those chops, Im afraid.
I came out of this film bloated with fine cinematic fayre and enjoyed the experience immensely.
