Pros: well acted, superbly filmed
Cons: very brief nudity might offend the easily offended making it inappropriate for a family film
The City Of Lost Children is one of those rare gems that people seem to fall upon by word-of-mouth or tend to avoid because it's a foreign film. While others have recommended not watching the film in English, I disagree. Never have I found the English overdubs to be as well done! The English version provides younger children the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful movie which has only a very brief moment of nudity (that's easily missed) and it's worth watching with the family because it's a great adventure they'll truly enjoy.
Miette, child actress Judith Vittet, owns the movie as she assists One (Ron Perlman), a gentle but mentally slow chain breaking circus performer, in his search to save his kidnapped little brother from Krank (Daniel Emilfork). Krank is a genetically engineered madman who aims to use the kidnapped childs dreams to reverse his advanced aging process.
Adding to the mix are colorful characters which include quadruplets, siamese twins, talking fleas, bioengineered blind men with superb hearing, and a goodhearted, mad scientist. This truly unique movie is just great fun! ...
