Rare fairy tale not- far -the -kiddies finds nutty scientific named Krank, Daniel Emilfork , abducting children helped by his one-eyed minions , the Cyclops , so that he can steal their dreams because Krank himself is incapable of dreaming . The lastest victim is the tiny brother of a single-mindedly hunk called One , Ron Perlman , a fairground strongman who sets out in rescuing him . One was a former whale hunter who along with a little girl , Miette : Judith Vittet , pursue a way to to get his brother back . Meantime , they are pursued by the Cyclops , the deadly automatic flea , the mad deep-sea diver and the evil Octopus siamese sisters , conjoined at the leg . The insane scientist Krank lives at a sea platform along with a dwarf woman , six cloned descendants : Dominique Pinon and a brain .
This is a grotesque , gross, gruesome and overlong fantasy with nice moments here and there . Although far too long , though , for its content, an extremely fantastic flick from start to finish with some situations full of fascination and charm . Interpretations from the French cast are pretty good , but extremely rare ; as Daniel Emilfork as a mad doctor who abducts kiddies to harvest their dreams and hoping they slow his aging process . Pitted against him is One well played by Ron Perlman , Guillermo Del Toro's regular player , he was the only American actor on set ; Ron plays as a honest and simple bouncer , as strong as a horse . Other actors appearing and giving freak acting are the followings : Dominique Pinon, Jean Claude Dreyfuss, Mapi Galan , Jean Louis Trintignant , Ticky Holgado and Rufus .
This one results to be a strange , bizarre , surrealist and haunting film set in a dystopian society in which several fantastic incidents take place . This peculiar movie has freaks galore , avant-garde costumes by Jean Paul Gaultier , breakgrounding special effects in charge by Pitof , and state-of-art production design by Marc Caro , all of whose function seems chiefly to be as bizarre as possible .Exceptional photography by Darius Khondji , a prestigious cameraman with known titles as Seven, 9th door , The beach , Wimbledon , Funny Games , The immigrant , Z lost city . It contains a magic and mysterious musical score by Angelo Baladamenti , David Lynch's usual. This is a French/Spanish coproduction financed by notorious producers as Elias Querejeta , Maria Victoria Herrero , Jose Luis Lopez and Claudio Ossard . The motion picture was well directed by Marc Caro and Jean Pierre Junet , though hard to follow . Caro has directed a few shorts , documentary and films as Dante 01 , Delicatessen . While , the successful director Jean Pierre Jeunet has realized prestigious movies such as Delicatessen , Alien resurrection, A very long engagement and Amelie played by his fetish actress Audrey Tautou . Fantasy buffs may enjoy total or partially of this , others will struggle to understand the half of it . Rating : 6/10 , acceptable and passable . Well worth watching .
