The evil Krank is tormented by his inability to dream. He finds it necessary to try to steal the dreams of children, but since they fear him, he only gets their nightmares. When a circus strongman's little brother is kidnapped, the strongman (One) tracks him down and, with the help of some other eccentric characters, tries to put an end to the evil reign of Krank and his Cyclops army.

"Children, and adults with adventurous taste in movies, will find this among the most eye-popping big-screen experiences in ages" | ||||
"The City of Lost Children is a stunningly surreal fantasy, a fable of longing and danger, of heroic deeds and bravery, set in a brilliantly realized world of its own" | ||||
"Sadly, the technical logistics seem to have impeded the dreamlike flow a movie like this requires" | ||||
"A vibrant, bubbling cauldron of breathtaking f/x, gross-out humor and in-your-face imagery" | ||||
"Watching the film is like leafing through a giant sketchbook crammed with intriguing ideas that can't all be comfortably fitted into the same master plan." | ||||
"Many people will probably not find themselves sympathetic to this movie's overachieving technological pretensions, while others will find it the best film in months or years." | ||||
"An empty triumph of overkill set design and weirdo casting" | ||||
"Essentially, The City of Lost Children is a macabre fairy tale (...) Caro and Jeunet have pulled off a cinematic delight." |
