Alejandro Amenábar + one of the most important and tragic stories in human history = this movie. I’ve always wanted to make a good movie about Hypatia and the Library of Alexandria. Looks like Amenábar got there first. If the movie is as good as the trailer, and I suspect …
I just saw the trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, one of my most-anticipated films ever, and it’s stunning. This film is going to be awesome, in the literal sense of the word. Want. See.
