This is one of the most surreal movies of all time. I remember when I was a teenager being half asleep on my couch and I saw the trailer for this movie on Sci-Fi channel. For a full year I didn't know if the movie was a dream of the real thing. Then finally a year or so later, the trailer was on a movie I rented, in which I had to then wait another 6 months for its to come out on VHS ( in the states ). One of my all time favorite movies. Creepy, trippy weird and beautiful.

I had the pleasure of seeing this in the cinema. I was only 11 or 12 and didn't have a clue to what I had bought a ticket for. I was supposed to see Snake Eyes with Nicolas Cage but there was some trouble with the print so I had to choose an other movie. And it was this. You can't imagine the impact this movie made on back then, it's just amazing. Unfortunately I forgot the name of it and with no internet or such it took me 10 years to find it and see it again. I wish they release it on blu-ray soon!

@@eliza6971 Sorry for late reply. I meant it’s a shame this film never got appreciation within the public sphere of cinema and kind of fell into obscurity. I wish it was heralded more because it and much of the Caro’s work definitely deserved to be more than cult status. My guess is because it’s a foreign language film and is quite abstract and straightforward it became an acquired taste. It’s a Velvet Underground situation where it was mostly forgotten but the ones who were into it worshipped it religiously and incorporated it into their own work. As for the Bioshock fanbase, a lot of them seem quite into early 20th century objectivist literature and discussions of meta narratives and dystopias so I wouldn’t say it’s unlikely their intellectual group wouldn’t be into French Cinema.

I fell in love with this trailer when I was in high school, and insisted that even my girlfriends parents watch it. It was a trailer included on a VHS copy of Heavy Metal that my friend lent me. I eventually saw the film was even more mesmerized. Spectacular visuals, unique storytelling, and great actors. A young Ron Perlman speaking French!?! Movies vs. film was now a distinction I realized. Watching movies/film has never been the same. We all have that one one experience where we realized we didn't understand what we were watching, until you that new thing. City of Lost Children was mine. Jeunet & Caro created a wonderful film that all should watch.

The movie tells us about a scientist who cannot see dreams and believes that once he steals them from children he will obtain youth. I can say no more, for this is basically it, but the details and secondary storylines are indeed interesting and entertaining. The movie is quite atmospheric and phantasmagoric. Ron Perlman plays a bit "slow" and husky guy who tries to find his kidnapped little brother. On his way he meets small thief girl who decides to help him. You can read more about it on imdb

I just found out how this movie was one of the creative sparks that gave life to the astonishing plot and background history of the Greatist! video game & backstory of all time ( in my opinion obviously). This french film is where Rapture acquired that foreshadowed aura of dark, damp and menacing danger lurking around every leaking dim-lit corridor. As well as the general concept of the Protector Program & Big Daddies (Ron Pearlman w/ the girl on his back) But Bioshock needed just as badly Andrew Ryan's unique economic ideal's (The Great Chain) modified from Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" to fully create the dystopian city of Rapture. But personally, the fine points that THIS movie gave Bioshock is what made it truly great. A perfect storm of creative vision. But I don't think I'd be able to sit through and watch the actual movie,lol
