Video: 35mm - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Special

It's fair to say that as directors go Terry Gilliam is one man who's strayed away from convention. From the animated lunancy of Monty Python to the live action daydreams of Time Bandits and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen right down to the end of the world nightmares of Twelve Monkeys, he's one of cinema's prime visionary's.

No stranger to incident, his latest film - fantasy spectacle,  The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, may have been one movie the director wished to stay unfinished as a mark of respect to its leading man, Heath Ledger - who passed away partway through filming.

However with the acting world rallying around the loss of one of its favoured sons and the trio of Colin Farrell, Jude Law and Johnny Depp stepping into to fill the late aussie actor's show, filiming was completed and Gillian is on hand to talk to 35mm in this special episode devoted to the making of Heath Ledger's last film.
