Blog Challenge Day 2: Favorite Movie


French Film from 1995: "The City Of Lost Children"
.
The movie revolves around a plot by the mad scientist "Krank" played by Daniel Emilfork, who kidnaps children to steal their dreams. Among them is the little brother of carnival strongman "One" palyed by Ron Perlman, who sets out to rescue him with the help of a young, orphaned, thieves' guild member named "Miette" played by Judith Vittet. (from Wikipedia).
.
The movie manages to be both dark and beautiful at the same time. The acting is crazy good, particularly the two actresses that play the conjoined twin. Cinematography, musical score, customes, special effects and set design should have all been nominated for Oscars but sadly was ignored.
.
Strange but lovely and remarkable.
