City of Lost Children - dvd

Having has his infant brother abducted by a gang of semi-robotic Cyclops, kindly strongman One (Ron Perlman) sets off on a search that will unite him with feisty nine-year-old orphan Miette, and lead him to the sea-rig laboratory inhabited by the evil Krank, his six cloned brothers, their diminutive ‘mother’, and Uncle Irvin, a sardonic brain floating in a fish tank…A sumptuous and provocative fantasy, with dazzling special effects, haunting score (courtesy Angelo Badalamenti) and costumes by Jean-Paul Gaultier, this classic piece of French cinema cemented Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen) as a major directorial talent, who would go on to helm ‘Amelie’ and ‘A Very Long Engagement’.
