I usually like innovative, original and even strange films. When I read some comments on the Internet I thought this movie might be that (innovative, original and strange). Well, yeah it is but, I now think those things are not always enough to make a good movie. I was warned about the lack of color and dialogs (the characters only made cavemen noises and eventually said single words), but I'll have to admit with a lot of shame that I need words in a movie, it was so boring. The "funny" parts are not that funny neither. Maybe if you like the silent films from the beginning of the 20th century you'll enjoy this one, if not (like me) I'd recommend to stay away from this.
I understand the comparison with Juenet and Caro. I'm almost sure that the music at the beginning is also in "City of Lost Children" (may be wrong), the use of water reminded it to me too. And several similarities with Delicatessen can be found. But it doesn't mean that if you liked those two films you'll like Tuvalu, believe me.
It's not all bad, the photograph is really good, a very nice work of art. The story is also very creative, another good point. But as a whole, it didn't work for me. Interesting experiment however.
If you are the kind of person who is in search of "different" movies, I must say this may, but also may not be the one that you're looking for.
