Summary: Luscious Eye Candy With An Acidic Center
Review: This film will blow you away with the intense world it creates. One of my three favorite movies ever and I'm PICKY about films. Jeunet and Caro far outstrip their previous excellent movie "Delicatessen" with this nightmarishly beautiful tale. Watching the dubbed version will do you a severe injustice - the voices of the characters add so much even if you don't understand a word of french. A film that will stay with you long after you've seen it!

Summary: This Film is in my top five - easily.
Review: Contrasting the often ignorant antics of Hollywood, The City of Lost Children not only stuns visually, but tells an interesting story. The script, the acting, and the amazing production design make this film a great example of the medium's potential. I just hope it comes out on DVD soon.

Summary: Incredible visuals and sci-fi/fairytale story
Review: If you liked Dark City, I think it is based heavily on City of Lost Children especially with the dark setting and underground society. The imagry and story are subtely chilling. Ofcourse its best viewed with subtitles, but the dubbed version was not as bad as some that I have seen. I rented it and ended up watching it three times in two days... great movie!

Summary: Beautiful, ugly, and breathtaking...
Review: Simply one of the most visually stunning films ever made. The term "eye candy" could have been coined just for this. See it with Brazil for a great double feature.

Summary: A visual feast.
Review: The movie must be experienced in its original subtitled version. It's erie, yet beautiful. A dark tale full of unforgetably disturbing villians. Often cruel but ultimately uplifting.

Summary: The wierdest movie I've ever seen!
Review: This was one of the most bizarre and well done movies I've ever seen. It took me about three times watching it to understand the plot completely, but it was well worth it. The children in the movie are fabulos, and the visuals are really amazing. If you have not already seen this movie, I would highly recommend it.
