“The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” (Terry Gilliam, 2009) – rating 60%

Doctor Parnassus makes a deal with the devil, and years later he returns for a debt, throwing all new troubles to the hero and his traveling theater, including a meeting with a mysterious hangman. The last role of Heath Ledger. The actor did not have time to finish shooting in the film, and after his death on the set, he was immediately replaced by three Hollywood colleagues – Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell.
