Heath Ledger’s final performance — until he’s CGI’d, Arnie-style, into a Batman sequel, anyway — in Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has finally premiered at Cannes, and the folks at Comme Au Cinema have gotten a hold of three clips from the film. One, already circulated over the web, features a masked Ledger regaling a crowd, and there are two more unseen clips — including Christopher Plummer’s eponymous Doctor.

Watch the clips below and then check out the critics’ decidedly mixed reactions to Parnassus so far. But hey, it’s Gilliam — if historical evidence is anything to go by, what do the critics know anyway?
