The best way to see “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” is to free fall into Terry Gilliam’s magical world. Don’t think about it; if you do, you probably won’t appreciate the other-worldly plot. But if you let yourself float and drift with the prevailing winds, you’ll find yourself transported to a preternatural world of colors and shapes and mysticism that will captivate you -- even if you don’t always understand it.
Gilliam was the only American member of Monty Python, the man responsible for the inventive graphics that separated the show’s segments. He went on to an “interesting” and trouble-filled career as a director. “Trouble-filled” may be a bit of an understatement; cursed is likely a better way to put it.
