Terry Gilliam's visually stunning fever dream is beautifully weird but narratively messy—it's a mixed bag that'll either enchant you or frustrate you depending on your tolerance for carnival-mirror storytelling. Worth it if you're in the mood for trippy, imaginative weirdness; skip if you want a tight plot.

Plot

After a carnival troupe saves his life, a man agrees to help its immortal leader collect five souls and win a bet with the devil.

Director: Terry Gilliam

Cast: Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole, Heath Ledger, Andrew Garfield, Verne Troyer
