The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is Terry Gilliam's fantastical morality tale, set in the present-day. It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium’, a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. The film of course became well-known, too, for being the final prominent performance by Heath Ledger, who died during filming. Ledger is extraordinary in the film and Gilliam found rather creative ways to edit with and around Ledger with a fine supporting cast, and the result, says Kenneth Turan, is "one of [Gilliam's] most original and accessible works." And now thanks to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and GreenCine, we're having a DVD giveaway for Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus!

One (1) lucky winner will be given a copy of Doctor Parnassus on DVD. [More details by clicking link below]

Ferraris are meant to accelerate from 0 to 60mph within seconds, not movies. But someone forgot to tell that to Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn (The Pusher Trilogy, Fear X) regarding this powerful and rigorously stylish tragicomedy, which builds to a primal scream during a bravura opening sequence (revamping Oldboy's one-man-army hallway scroll with mosh-pit intimacy), then maintains the intensity, with bleak humor and unexpected pathos, for an hour and a half. Based on the sensational milestones in the "career" of Britain's most violent prisoner, Charles Bronson (née Michael Gordon Peterson; named after the Death Wish star by a bareknuckle boxing promoter), the film breezes through the middle-class upbringing of a man who -- in 1974, at the age of 19 -- botched an armed robbery and was given seven years in the slammer, a sentence that has since been lengthened several times over based upon his penchant for starting prison fights and large-scale riots. In reality, he has lived 30 of the last 34 years in solitary confinement.

GreenCine's proud to offer an eclectic collection of short films by an underappreciated independendent filmmaker, straight from San Francisco.s Microcinema DVD.

"Plotnick's penchant for irreverent goofiness and stunning send-ups of American pop culture limns the edges of high and low, and this may be part of his success in generating lively audiences." -Filmmaker Magazine

Warts & All: The Films of Danny Plotnick (Comedic Missives from The American Underground, 1986-2001) is 100 minutes of mayhem featuring films shot on 16mm, super 8 and digital video. Danny Plotnick roared into the underground film world in the 1980s. Fueled by his love of punk and alternative culture and infected with d.i.y. spirit, he started making films that captured a similarly snarly attitude. His films were pegged as bawdy, bad-mouthed and beautiful, straddling the line between high-brow and low-brow art.
