THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS
Paying tribute to the late Academy Award winner Heath Ledger in his final role, THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS is a fantastical morality tale set in the present-day.

Directed by Academy Award winner Terry Gilliam (MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL , LIFE OF BRIAN , FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS), THE IMAGINARIUM also features Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law.

AFC NY: ROBERT AWARD WINNER OPENS 02/05

TERRIBLY HAPPY

OPENS 02/05 AT THE ANGELIKA NEW YORK
A festival favorite, pulling in an impressive 19 awards including seven Robert Awards (Danish Oscars®), TERRIBLY HAPPY is Denmarkâ??s official entry for consideration in the Academy Awardsâ??® Foreign Language Film category. Reminiscent of the Coen Brothers BLOOD SIMPLE and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, TERRIBLY HAPPY displays a unique, often macabre vision of the darkest depths to which people will go to achieve security and belonging. Robert (Jakob Cedergren) is a Copenhagen police officer who, following a nervous breakdown, is transferred to a small provincial town to take on the mysteriously vacated Marshall position. Robertâ??s big city temperament makes it impossible for him to fit in and he quickly spirals downward in this darkly comedic tale.
