  THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN is a dazzling fantasy adventure from Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, creators of Delicatessen and has been newly restored. They bring their surreal vision to the story of Krank, a tormented scientist who sets about kidnapping local children in order to steal their dreams and so reverse his accelerated ageing process. When Krank's henchmen kidnap his brother, local fisherman and former circus strongman One (Hellboy's Ron Perlman) sets out on a journey to Krank's nightmarish laboratory, accompanied by a little orphan girl called Miette. With stunning visuals from Darius Khondji (Se7en), costumes from Jean Paul Gaultier and a haunting score by Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Dr.), THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN cemented Jeunet and Caro's reputation as filmmakers with a unique vision.

  Where happily ever after is just a dream. On a mist-shrouded rig in the sea Krank ages prematurely because he lacks one vital function: the ability to dream. And so he kidnaps children from the harbour town to steal their dreams. Return to the fantastic world of the creators of Delicatessen and journey with One - a former whale harpooner and circus strongman - and the orphan Miette in the quest to rescue little Denre from Krank's evil clutches. Meet the sinister Octopus twins Irvin - the brain that floats in an aquarium The Inventor and his army of clones and the fleas that are trained to kill.

  The fantastic visions of Belgian film-makers Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet find full fruition in this fairy tale for adults. Evoking utopias and dystopias from Brazil to Peter Pan, Caro and Jeunet create a vivid but menacing fantasy city in a perpetually twilight world. In this rough port town lives circus strongman One (Ron Perlman), who wanders the alleys and waterfront dives looking for his little brother, snatched from him by a mysterious gang preying upon the children of the town. Rising from the harbour is an enigmatic castle where lives the evil scientist Krank (Daniel Emilfork), who has lost the ability to dream and robs the nocturnal visions of the children he kidnaps, but receives only mad nightmares from the lonely cherubs. Other wild characters include the Fagin-like Octopus--Siamese twin sisters who control a small gang of runaways-turned-thieves--Krank's six cloned henchmen (all played by the memorable Dominique Pinon from Delicatessen), and a giant brain floating in an aquarium (voiced by Jean-Louis Trintignant). Caro and Jeunet are kindred souls to Terry Gilliam (who is a vocal fan), creating imaginative flights of fancy built of equal parts delight and dread, which seem to be painted on the screen in rich, dreamy colours. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com
