La Cité des Enfent Perdus
(The City Of The Lost Children)
 

 
 
 
 

    INFO  

    This is perhaps the most bizarre, beautiful and creative film ever made.  The cinematography, costuming (by Jean-Paul Gaultier), set design, music, special effects and performances by all actors are all absolutely superb.  Another fantastic movie by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, the creators of Delicatessen, Alien Resurrection, and other brilliant work.
