作为希斯·莱杰的遗作，其缅怀与纪念的价值似乎远远超出了这部《帕那索斯博士的奇幻秀》电影的本身。影坛奇才所散发出来的光芒和魅力，连上帝都为之妒忌。以至于还没来得及完成这最后的作品，就被卑劣地早早带走了。为此，这部影片希斯·莱杰的真正烙印也就不那么纯了，而很大程度上是透露着他与朋友们之间的深厚友谊，让人感动，也让人心碎。约翰尼·德普、裘德·洛、柯林·法瑞尔，无一不是最耀眼的星星，理论上来说，更像是明星堆砌的眼花缭乱的城堡。但是在观众的潜意识里，这只是一场希斯·莱杰本人的假面舞会，正如《黑暗骑士》中的小丑，往往隐藏在面具之下，而他那睿智深邃的思维与灵魂永远都不会消散。

帕那索斯博士与魔鬼做了个长生不老的交易，但代价就是要将自己的孩子在十六岁那年交给他。以赌博为乐的魔鬼并不急于夺其所爱，而是给了一个机会让帕纳索斯博士选择，看谁先引诱到五个灵魂。就在博士一筹莫展的时候，希斯·莱杰所饰演的托尼出现了。紧接着，上演了一场救赎与被救赎，善与恶，生与死，罪与罚的较量。而一切的一切，都是因为这该死的选择！

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a 2009 fantasy film which will be upcoming in China directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam and Charles McKeown. The film follows a traveling theater troupe whose leader, having made a bet with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations and present them with a choice between self-fulfilling enlightenment or gratifying ignorance. Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, Andrew Garfield, Lily Cole, and Tom Waits star in the film, though Ledger's death one-third of the way through filming caused production to be temporarily suspended. Ledger's role was recast with Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portraying transformations of Ledger's character as he travels through a dream world. The film made its world premiere during the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, out of competition. The UK release of the film was scheduled for 6 June 2009 but was pushed back to 16 October 2009 due to its successful premiere at Cannes. The film was given a limited release in the US on Christmas Day 2009 and a nationwide expansion on 8 January 2010. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was nominated for two Academy Awards in the categories Best Art Direction (art directed by Dave Warren and Anastasia Masaro, and set decorated by Caroline Smith; lost to Avatar) and Best Costume Design (costumes designed by Monique Prudhomme; lost to The Young Victoria).

小编点评： 本片的导演特瑞·吉列姆，可以说是位个人意识极强的怪才。在他的电影里，总喜欢将时间与空间杂糅到一块。原本是平行的，偶尔却会相交；交错连连的，他又能将脉络分离开来。
