| Plot: | In London, the sideshow troupe of Doctor Parnassus promises the audience a journey to the "Imaginarium", an imaginary world commanded by the mind of Doctor Parnassus, where dreams come true. In the stories that Doctor Parnassus tells to his daughter Valentina, the midget Percy, and his assistant Anton, he claims to have lived for more than one thousand years; However, when he fell in love with a mortal woman, he made a deal with the devil (Mr. Nick), trading his immortality for youth. As part of the bargain, he promised his son or daughter to Mr. Nick on their sixteenth birthday. Valentina is now almost to the doomed age and Doctor Parnassus makes a new bet with Mr. Nick, whoever seduces five souls in the Imaginarium will have Valentina as a prize. Meanwhile the troupe rescues Tony, a young man that was hanged on a bridge by the Russians. Tony was chased until he finds and joins the group. Tony and Valentina fall in love with each other and the jealous Anton discovers that his competition may be a liar. |

Goofs

Continuity: When Dr. Parnassus is following Valentina through the concourse two young school girls in uniform pass him. Moments later when he's outside looking in the window, the same two girls can be seen entering the library. Crew: At the part where Tony (played by Colin Farrell) and Valentina are in the Gondola, there is a shadow of someone walking behind the screen, in the back, between when they are talking about how perfect it is and that they have to make a choice. Continuity: When Percy, Valentina and Anton are counting money and Valentina says: "Hey, maybe my birthday won't be so bad". Percy is looking down at money in his hands. In the next shot his posture and facial expression is completely different. |
Quotes

Tony: [from trailer] Nothing is permanent, not even death. Tony: Can you put a price on your dreams? Dr. Parnassus: Voilà! Tony: Voilà! Tony: Don't believe everything you read. Especially The Mirror. Mr. Nick: You're probably not a betting man are you? Tony: The Imaginarium does not cost a thing. We're not here for money. Mr. Nick: [Emerges in front of Parnassus] It's been a while. Tony: [From trailer] [Introducing the Imaginarium]... the *extraordinary* Dr. Par-nassus! Dr. Parnassus: Percy, what would I do without you? Percy: Get a midget. Mr. Nick: I don't suppose you're a... betting man, are ya Doc? Dr. Parnassus: You can't stop a story being told. Mr. Nick: That's a weak hypothesis. Dr. Parnassus: [Repeated line] What would I do without you, Percy? Mr. Nick: Damn. I won. Face Changed Martin: [Screaming and pleading] I swear I won't drink anymore! Not one drop! Martin: [Chasing after Valentina in the Imaginarium] Come here, you bitch! Mr. Nick: [Tony has stopped the Devil from taking another soul] Shit. Dr. Parnassus: [Sees Tony setting up the Imaginarium] What are you doing? Tony: Trying to save your daughter's life, sir! Dr. Parnassus: [Absorbed in telling Valentina the story] Your mother and I went away together, grew old, and one day she came to me and told me she was pregnant! Can you believe it, at sixty and pregnant. A miracle. Valentina: [Begins to weep] A miracle or a mistake? Dr. Parnassus: [sighs, remembering his deal] You were the best mistake I ever made. Dr. Parnassus: [Has just seen the Devil] He's come to collect. [after a pause] He's early. Tony: Don't shoot the messenger! Imaginarium Tony #3: [Sees the press approaching him and grins gleefully at Valentina] I think this is my dream! Valentina: [Counting the money that Tony made] Have you ever seen so much money before? Tony: If Doctor Parnassus can really control people's mind, why isn't he ruling the world,then? Eh? Why bother with this little... side show? Anton: 'Side show'? He don't... he don't want to rule the world. He wants the world to rule itself! Tony: Do you dream? Or should I say... can you put a price on your dreams? Or... the dreams of the less fortunate in this world [pets Percy] |
