The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
sel:
Thanks Meryl. I appreciated your impressions.
Penthesilea:
Thank you Meryl. I read it all, of course.
Good to know that it's not overly obscure (as if I'd really care, I'll be the same as you, absobing every second of Heath). But it's good to know his last movie will not be some obscure and over the top excentric experiment, but a real movie that people can enjoy.
I remember when those pics of Heath hanging off the bridge showed up. I found them hard to watch, even back then, not knowing what tragedy will happen.

Thanks Meryl, just reading what you so eloquently wrote, brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. I really appreciate you taking the time to post your impressions.
Jeff Wrangler:
Anthony Lane's comment about Heath in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, in the Dec. 21 and 28 issue of The New Yorker (it's not particularly flattering, but it's part of the public record, so here it is):
"It should not be mistaken for [Heath's] finest hour; we see his larking, but not the undertow of frailty that tugged at 'Brokeback Mountain,' and his principal duty here, like everyone else's, is to go with the flow of phantasmagoria."
(In case you haven't guessed, Lane doesn't like the movie. At least, that's how I read his review.)
Sophia:
After atleast 7 months waiting, its finally gonna happen. I am gonna see it. On the first day of the new year me and buffymon will do the big drive to the city and watch it. But it will be with mixed emotions, but hopefully when I see heath it will just be with a lot of joy! :)
