La ciudad de los niños perdidos

Many disagree with the previous reviewer.

Not sure what the last reviewer watched, but City of lost Children is amazing cinema from the sets, color, acting, lighting, plot, it had everything pushed to the Nth from what I experienced.

It is NOT a typical American style movie. It is French and luckily, they are allowed to have an alternate path to interesting movie making.

This guy Jeunet puts a LOT into all of his productions. Almost a mentally overwhelming amount of style, info and actions (not action packed, but activities that go on in or behind the scene). He also did Amelie which is just as astounding and one of the best films ever made. Watch it start to finish if you don't believe that.

The City of Lost Childen extends its name sake across many peoples from the twisted characters that are adults and act like the children they never were, to the children who are lost from being children and must be adults. Not to mention the abductions and the reason for that.

So it is a win on many levels. One of the best, and I am so grateful I happened across this bazaar gem of a flick.

Wish more movies were as intricately entertaining as this art piece is.
