LA CITE DES ENFANTS PERDUS

A Film by
Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro
Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro burst to the forefront of world cinema with their visually arresting, raucously fun movie "Delicatessen" (1991). Since then, the filmmakers have been conjuring up their next directorial effort, another elaborately detailed universe of fantasy, entitled "The City of Lost Children." While once again deeply rooted in the mechanics of cause and effect, the new film is also reminiscent of such groundbreaking visual tours de force as "Brazil" and "Time Bandits."

The film is set on a grand scale. The eye-popping sets, ingenious special effects, Jean-Paul Gaultier costumes, and a must-be-seen-to-be-believed cast of characters create an overall effect that you will not soon forget. And, like the classic "The Wizard of Oz," "The City of Lost Children" delves deep into the subconscious realm of children's imaginations, and -- most importantly -- their dreams. "The City of Lost Children" harks back to traditional fairy tales, staying true to those traditions by delving into wild, sometimes dark and scary, flights of fancy...some of which speak to adults as much as, if not more than, children.

112 minutes; 35mm Color, 1:85 Ratio;
Dolby SR Sound  MPAA Rating: "R"

About the Story
Just off the coast of a dank, teeming harbor town, a horrible scientist named Krank (Daniel Emilfork) lives on a mist-shrouded rig. He is aging prematurely because he lacks one vital function: the ability to dream. Krank's henchmen, a community of Cyclops, kidnap children from town and take them to Krank's inhospitable laboratory, so that Krank can tap into their dreams, invade them, and make them his own. In the laboratory, Krank is assisted by the pint-sized Miss Bismuth (Mireille Mosse); a disembodied (and philosophy-spouting) brain known as Irvin (voiced by Jean-Louis Trintignant); and six identical Clones (all portrayed by Dominique Pinon).

The latest little kidnappee is a voracious toddler named Denree (Joseph Lucien). Although Denree remains impressively calm, his adopted brother, One (Ron Perlman), a circus strongman, is distraught. While searching high and low for his "baby brother," One is shanghaied by Miette (Judith Vittet), a nine-year-old femme fatale. Miette is the undisputed leader of a gang of orphans who, like petite resistance fighters, have developed ingenious strategies to survive, and evade, the sinister forces at work.

The brave little girl and the gentle giant need each other: she has the brains, while he has the brawn. Together, the pair embark on a series of wondrous but harrowing adventures. They escape the clutches of Siamese twin sisters (collectively known as The Octopus) who operate both an orphanage and a black-market business. They encounter an amnesiac Diver (Dominique Pinon) who collects refuse from the bottom of the harbor...and whose striking resemblance to Krank's Clones is the key to the mystery of Krank and his fiendish plotting. One and Miette must ultimately challenge Krank and his ultra-dysfunctional "family" on a level playing field -- within the world of a little boy's dream.

Zork... Thanks for these.

Great job!   Very nice caps indeed.  I'll leave them here in this thread for a few days then put them in a gallery on the database.

Boy55...  thanks for that article.  (I've done a little edit job on a couple of parts of your cut and paste removing a few minor bits that were related to the website's activities at the time. Circa 1996.).

Great caps, Zork, and thanks for the nice review too, boy55!  I've heard of this one before, but never did know too much about it.  I like the caps of the actors with their names, and wish all dvd's (all movies) did that with the credits.   Grin

Love,
Sir J
