New Poster for Doctor Parnassus

Now that’s more like it.

If the original key art for Terry Gilliam’s lovely-if-muddled The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus underwhelmed (as it well should have), the film’s new UK one-sheet should serve to rekindle those wavering interests.

Flanked by a striking selection of key scenes and characters rendered in typically Gilliam-esque cut-and-paste mise-en-scène, the doubly striking Lily Cole (whom, it must be said, seriously impresses as the blossoming, ennui-stricken daughter of the titular mystic in the film) has a not-inappropriate air of the post-prandial Alice down the rabbit hole about her here...

A contender for poster of the year, methinks.

This debuted at The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Support Site.

The film reaches Australia on October 29th, and I’ll have a review up in the not-too-distant future.
