Both times I viewed this Dvd it Skipped midway through viewing and the screen was frozen for about a minute. Besides this it played well the rest of the way through. DVD Review: Sort of Popeye meets Oliver in French Sci Fi
Summary: 4 Stars
The technology here is all pre-World War II: an analog tale of orphans, kidnapped children and captured dreams.
It reminded me of the Lemony SnicketLemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (Widescreen Edition) movie, but better done and in French. A gang of children are a theft ring run by a conjoined twin monster of two women. The kidnapping of children is being done by a strange cyclops religious sect for and off shore island group of clones.
For their dreams the very young children have their brain-waves captured and transfered to a very evil clone Krank.
The ex-sailor circus strong man saves the day while rescuing his brother
with the help of a very resourceful orphan girl.
It is a wonderful movie that most people wouldn't take their children to?
DVD Review: Sir Adam's Micro Review: City of Lost Children
Summary: 4 Stars
City of Lost children is an original, zany, beautiful masterwork that captured my imagination with every frame. The cover design on the American release is bland and deceiving. Even in its darkness is remains uplifting and extremely funny at moments. The film makers were flat-out gutsy to make it, and I am grateful. Rewatch Factor: 4 and 1/2 StarsDVD Review: Incredible Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
its just one of those movies that will entertain your brain.
and youll end up showing all your friends.
Description of The City of Lost Children
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/24/2008 Run time: 112 minutes Rating: RThe fantastic visions of Belgian filmmakers Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet find full fruition in this fairy tale for adults. Evoking utopias and dystopias from Brazil to Peter Pan, Caro and Jeunet create a vivid but menacing fantasy city in a perpetually twilight world. In this rough port town lives circus strongman One (Ron Perlman), who wanders the alleys and waterfront dives looking for his baby brother, snatched from him by a mysterious gang preying upon the children of the town. Rising from the harbor is an enigmatic castle where lives the evil scientist Krank (Daniel Emilfork), who has lost the ability to dream and robs the nocturnal visions of the children he kidnaps, but receives only mad nightmares from the lonely cherubs. Other wild characters include the Fagin-like Octopus--Siamese twin sisters who control a small gang of runaways-turned-thieves--Krank's six cloned henchmen (all played by the memorable Dominique Pinon from Delicatessen), and a giant brain floating in an aquarium (voiced by Jean-Louis Trintignant). Caro and Jeunet are kindred souls to Terry Gilliam (who is a vocal fan), creating imaginative flights of fancy built of equal parts delight and dread, which seem to be painted on the screen in rich, dreamy colors. --Sean Axmaker
