Dir.Jean-Pierre Jeunet/Marc Caro France 1995
This futuristic sci-fi fairy tale by the creators of Amelie and Delicatessen
is set in a gloomy port where a mad scientist, Krank, kidnaps children in
order to capture their dreams. He's assisted by a dwarf and 6 squabbling
clones (all played by Dominique Pinon) and is heckled by a pickled brain.
A pure-hearted lug and a tough nine-year-old nymphet join forces against
Krank to retrieve lost compatriots, encountering a clan of cyclopes and sinister
Siamese twins along the way. Enhanced by eerie score by Angelo Bada-lamenti.
