The City of Lost Children

La Cité des enfants perdus

1995

Marc Caro & Jean-Pierre Jeunet

``The most astounding visuals of 1995, 1996 and maybe 1982. I loved it!''

(Terry Gilliam)

Caro and Jeunet are the incredibly talented, twisted duo behind 1991's Delicatessen, and this film is likewise set in some retro-futuristic universe: its characters garbed in '40s frocks and smocks; its gizmos a combination of Jules Verne and Rube Goldberg; its evil army of cyclops equipped with sophisticated lenses that allow them to see in the dark. And boy it is dark: The city of the title is a gloomy harbor burg, where vermin scurry down dank cobblestone alleys, foghorns belch into the night and children suddenly, mysteriously disappear.

(Steven Rea, Inquirer Movie Critic)

And where it could be a better place to watch such a story than aboard of a ship?
