Imaginaerum (2012)

Director: Stobe Harju, Mark Roper (co-director)

Starring: Francis X. McCarthy, Glenda Braganza, Helene Robbie

A coma sends an old man into his childhood’s sinister fantasy world, where he must fight dementia and gain back his memories before it’s too late.

This very imaginary film is the most visionary depiction of dementia you’ll ever see. A Tim-Burton-ish fantasy musical adventure, this is very unique and very different. At first glance not everything will make sense, so the film definitely deserves more than one viewing. If you’re a Nightwish fan, there’s the added bonus of the band members performing in the film as well. Their music was toned down and very effective. The film’s visuals are striking and there’s some really awesome super slow motion photography. What an absolutely beautiful film!
