Movies: City of Lost Children

[amedia]

One of the weirdest movies I've ever seen, yet also very beautiful. Another movie I found through Tin Man fandom, and there were some resonances - the steampunk look-and-feel, the brain floating in a tank in green miasma, the villain who looked a lot like the head alchemist. It reminded me even more, though, of Dark City, something about the claustrophobic city setting that seemed to be constantly turning in on itself, a place where it was never light and always gloomy. We've been watching it over the last couple of days and finished most of the last hour tonight. We watched it in French with the English subtitles on.
