The City of Lost Children

This is the third time I've seen this one. Wonderfully imaginative, if more than a little weird. Great concept, look and execution. Laced with humor. Graced with many grotesque-looking character actors who are themselves the stuff of nightmares. I loved the retro-mechanical devices a la Brazil.

The tear-induced chain of events culminating in the ship crashing into the dock is a triumph and alone worth the price of admission.

This one resides in a category of one.
