The other thing that I found interesting was the casting of uber-model and st. Trinian's tart Lily Cole as Dr Parnassus's daughter. It seemed odd casting because her notoriety in the UK would turn off the serious Gilliam audience and threaten to draw the audience out of the wonderful fantasy world he created, but she managed to do her part adequately and after a few minutes I quickly just thought of her as just another player in this enchanting narrative.
