About this product

Product Information

In THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, an imaginative fantasy from the creators of DELICATESSEN, a prematurely aging mad scientist named Krank (Daniel Emilfork) kidnaps children so he can steal their dreams. However, Krank runs into trouble when his henchmen grab Denrée (Joseph Lucien), a little boy whose adopted brother, One (Ron Perelman), is a circus strongman. One desperately tries to find Denrée and begs for help from Miette (Judith Vittet), a 9-year-old girl who heads up a gang of orphans. Together, One and Miette finally find Krank's castle, meeting along the way the lost identical brother--the original--of the three clones (each played by Dominique Pinon) who serve as Krank's assistants.French directors Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet once again prove their technical prowess with this dark fairy tale, which features outstanding performances from its youthful cast (most notably Vittet). As is the case with DELICATESSEN, however, their genius in constructing a highly artificial, beautiful, believable world threatens to overshadow the story. But even the fantastic sets cannot compare to the bizarre spectacles that Jeunet and Caro dream up. In one unforgettable scene, a pair of evil Siamese twin sisters prepare dinner, their four arms working perfectly in sync--one holding vegetables for another to chop while a third stirs the soup and a fourth scratches their collective itches. Frequent David Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalamenti creates the chilling, circusy musical score that adds to the film's magic.

    A must see for scifi action drama fans.

    There's a steam punk feel to this and it's extremely well written and directed. Everything about this film makes it a masterpiece. Keep in mind it is in French so you have to read pretty quickly at times which kind of takes away from the movie at times. Still a wonderful movie I bought this for a friend who's been wanting to see it for a long time.

    The Simpsons

    The movie works, no scratches on the disc. There is a scratch on the case and the dvd doesn’t have any designs. Good movie with special features involved.

    Great fun, funny, endearing, quirky. Love it!

    An odd, yet endearing film. Subtitles are done well, and the acting is, thankfully, as quirky as the story. We just love this movie!

    Mine 🤓

    I have waited so long to find this movie and I finally found it. The best part is I only had to wait 5 days and then it was mine in my hands. Last time I had this movie in my hands was in 1997 lol 🤓🏳
