My second viewing of this film revealed that it's my favorite of all Terry Gilliam's work. It is the most "Gilliamesque" with: strange and bizarre scenes, amazing philosophical/spiritual concepts, great acting (Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, and Tom Waits? Plus Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell cameos??), and a lingering effect--it stays with you long after it is over. I really loved figuring out what was going on and then, once I had, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I'd definitely be one of those crazy women who leaps into the doctor's mirror.
I must say that the story is such a fantastic concept, it must be viewed. I don't want to spoil anything, so just go watch it!
