The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
 |
|
|||||
| Filled to the brim with director Terry Gilliam’s trademark visual madness, this story of a deal with the Devil also features Heath Ledger’s final performance. | ||||||
| One thousand years ago, upon reaching a pact with the Devil (a whacked-out Tom Waits), crazed circus ringmaster Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) is granted immortality and the ability to guide the imagination of others. Cut to the present day, and the Devil is finally ready to claim his end of the bargain-the soul of Parnassus’ 16-year-old daughter, Valentina (Lily Cole). One last bet is struck to save the girl-Parnassus must deliver five souls into his own phantasmagoric world of imagination. With help from his circus troupe and a mysterious stranger (Heath Ledger, and upon his death ably filled in for by Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell), Parnassus does all he can to lure guests into his psychedelic dreamland. If this all sounds bonkers, that’s because it is-but it’s just the kind of brilliant lunacy we’ve come to expect from the creator of Time Bandits, Brazil, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. | ||||||

The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers
 |
|
|||||
| Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Feature. Hailed as a hero, vilified as a traitor, and ostracized by some of his closest colleagues, Ellsberg shook the nation and its presidency to the core when he leaked top-secret documents to The New York Times in 1971. | ||||||
| Himself a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, Ellsberg underwent a crisis of conscience when he took a trip to the Mekong Delta and determined that the war was unwinnable. Deciding he would risk life in prison to stop a conflict he helped plan, he illegally shared 7,000 pages of classified documents, or what came to be known as The Pentagon Papers, with the press. Containing an extended history of American involvement in Vietnam, The Pentagon Papers revealed that various administrations, not just Nixon’s, had lied to the public about their motives for military involvement in southeast Asia for years. Narrated by Ellsberg, now 78, Ehrlich and Goldsmith’s film unravels as a cat-and-mouse saga that leads directly to Watergate, Nixon’s resignation, and the end of the war. The juiciest moments include excerpts from Nixon’s reaction to Ellsberg (taped in the Oval Office), which display the President at his vicious worst. | ||||||
