CANNES, France (AP) — Heath Ledger's final performance has been presented at the Cannes Film Festival.

Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" stars Ledger as a slick-tongued man who falls in with a mysterious troupe offering a portal to fantasy worlds.

Ledger died after completing the real-world portions of the film. Gilliam finished the film with Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell taking Ledger's role in three trips to make-believe realities.

The movie closes with the dedication: "A film from Heath Ledger and friends."

  • All hail and laud the actor who chose to use drugs left his child without a father. The worship is sickening. How about more stories about family men (and women!) who do the right thing and are in the lives of their children?
