Genre: Fantasy

Visually beautiful of course, since it's a Gilliam film, but the story isn't really of the kind that I like.
___________
Doctor Parnassus has a bet with the Devil, which means that he either lets five people lose themselves in his Imaginarium, or he must give his daughter to the devil.
___________
I guess I'm really not a Gilliam person. I like his visual style, it's very surreal with a lot of different types of special effects. The story, however, isn't really clear, as in a lot of his movies. It could be that I just didn't understand it, but I think it's kind of suspicious that most of the time I can fully understand a movie, including second and third layers, except when I'm watching a Gilliam movie.
