Plot:
Many years ago, Dr Parnassus ran a monastery where monks perpetually recited a story to sustain the world. Mr. Nick (appears to be the devil) challenged their beliefs and made a bet with Parnassus over which of them could win over the souls of people to either crave stories and imagination (Parnassus) or addictions and feeble desires (Mr. Nick). Parnassus won over 12 souls before Mr. Nick, and was given immortality. Because his body still aged, Parnassus made a new pact with Mr. Nick so that he might be youthful again in order to win the heart of a woman he loved. In exchange, any child he fathered would become Mr. Nick's property when the child turned 16.
Years passed and Doctor Parnassus owns a theatre troupe called "The Imaginarium". People enter the imaginarium and see their wildest fantasy coming true, the dreams of their lives in front of their eyes. Inside the imaginarium they can either seek wisdom and give their souls to Parnassus or satisfy their feeble desires and give their souls to Mr Nick. Parnassus travels with his daughter,Valentina, Anton and Percy. One day,they see a hanging man (Tony) and they save him. After that,he travels with them.
Mr Nick reminds Parnassus that in a frew days Valentina will turn 16 so her soul will be his. Devastated, Parnassus makes a new deal with the devil: Valentina can stay with whomever wins five souls first. After many difficulties Parnassus wins 4 souls, but so does Mr Nick. Tony decides to enter the Imaginarium to give to his soul to Parnassus so that he could win. However, many twists occur and nothing is what it seems to be.
The film is ideal for all ages. Pleasant, full of fantasy, it will make you wish you could enter the imaginarium ;p
