The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus has a new UK poster. Surprisingly, considering the bevy of stars that the film features (most notably the ones filling in for the late Heath Ledger), it is the movie's female lead Lily Cole who takes front an center, nude but for a red ribbon wrapped around her leg. Reminiscent of his animation for Monty Python earlier in his career, the borders of the one sheet are decorated with non sequitur-esque images such as a hand dropping an apple; the head of Christopher Plummer with an elongated tongue; a cobra; and bizarre jellyfish-like creatures swimming under the main picture.
In a world of floating heads and various other poster cliches, it is nice to see that the art of the one sheet isn't dead yet. Saul Bass and Frank McCarthy need not roll over in their graves yet.
