A Town Called Panic
“3.5 STARS! Enchanting...goofy charm!”
–- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“A blast of freewheeling inventiveness!”
–Screen International
Hilarious and frequently surreal, the stop-motion extravaganza A Town Called Panic has endless charms and raucous laughs for children from eight to eighty. Based on the Belgian animated cult TV series, Panic stars three plastic toys named Cowboy, Indian and Horse who share a rambling house in a rural town that never fails to attract the weirdest events. A sort of Gallic Monty Python crossed with Art Clokey on acid, A Town Called Panic is zany, brainy and altogether insane-y!

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
“4 STARS! Made with Gilliam's fantastic and fantastical visual imagination, "Imaginarium" is the director's best, most entertaining film in years.”
–Chicago Tribune
“Resplendent!”
–Todd McCarthy, Variety
Doctor Parnassus’ extraordinary Imaginarium is a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom.

Trapped by a police raid while slumming in the native section of Algiers, a playgirl encounters the boss of the labyrinthine casbah, Jean Gabin’s French crook-on-the-run Pépé Le Moko. As they share wistful memories of the Paris Métro, it’s clear that if the cops can’t get Pépé, love can.
