French Steampunk Horror: La Cité des enfants perdus

I had the pleasure of watching one of the most incredible films I have seen in quite some time, ‘La Cité des enfants perdus’ (City Of Lost Children). While the movie was French with subtitles, it was cinematically incredible.

The science-fiction / fantasy world that was created was absolutely jaw dropping, for the nerd in us all. The steampunk style of every little machine and device was perfect. While
the steampunk world has become rather popular over time, this is the first mainstream movie I have seen to pull it off right.

The plot was the most original I have heard of in far to long. A mad scientist who had designed clones of himself, and a far supieriour mad scientist who killed his creator, and begins to steal the nightmares of children.

When the Krank, the evil inventor, kidnaps One’s (Ron Perlman of Hellboy) little brother, needless to say, One bands together with the children to bring an end to Kranks reign.

A brilliant movie to say the least, I can’t speak enough about it. Check it out! You won’t regret it!
