here is my bit about the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus!

i watched it with haneef in a huff yesterday, and our front row seats proved too hardcore for the groggy trippy brilliance of visual spectacle that is the ingenuity of Tim Bellows. the plot is a little muddled at certain points, but that flaw was swept under the carpet by the astounding imaginative worlds that spin out through the mirror, and also by the quirky shady characters of Valentina and Tony(Heath and Depp mostly). the abstract surrealist concepts that Tim portrays through his visuals are dark and haunting: broken shards of mirror, sprawling fields with perpetual ladders stretching to the clouds, black languid oxford-esque meanders that licks up to become a serpent... these are the stuff that i've always been drawing. these are the stuff of my dreams.
