    Amazing.

    Finally was able to track down a DVD of it.

    Yeah, its a first class film. After Amelie broke so huge it became very fashionable to like Jean Pierre Jeunet, but he has been doing such brilliant work for years. If there is one criticism, its that he doesn't work enough, usually leaving a gap of 3-5 years between his films. The guy has such a vibrant imagination and an amazing eye for detail. He also has such incredible use of movement and color, the atmosphere almost bleeds from the screen. The man is a genius.

      This was good. I liked Delicatessen more.

      Did you know they did a City of Lost Children PC game?

        Yeah I heard about the game haunted...apparently hard to find.

        My dvd of Delicatessen should be in the mail...hopefully get it tommorow.

          Loved Jeunet from the moment I saw Delicatessen. City of Lost Children remains my favorite of his.

            I've always liked Amelie...don't know why I didn't try and track down more of his stuff earlier.

              TCOLC was the first film I ever watched in my first ever film course. And it was 2500 miles from LA. Excellent movie!

                That's a trippy movie- and amazing. Best flea in film history, ever.
                I think Alien 4 if Jeunet's only questionable film, tho I'm not sure it's his fault versus studio trouble.
