Review – City of Lost Children

Ready for a lot of surreal French weirdness? The art direction is more than a little derivative of Terry Gilliam, with perhaps a little German Expressionism and a dash of Star Trek thrown in for good measure (not unlike the director’s previous effort, Delicatessen). But the script keeps it moving pretty well, and the strangeness frequently manages to be clever, which isn’t something that you can say for a lot of films that try this hard. Mildly amusing
