The City of Lost Children (1995) [Blu ray] (remastered 2023)

THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN is a dazzling fantasy adventure from Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, creators of Delicatessen and has been newly restored. They bring their surreal vision to the story of Krank, a tormented scientist who sets about kidnapping local children in order to steal their dreams and so reverse his accelerated ageing process. When Krank’s henchmen kidnap his brother, local fisherman and former circus strongman One (Hellboy’s Ron Perlman) sets out on a journey to Krank’s nightmarish laboratory, accompanied by a little orphan girl called Miette. With stunning visuals from Darius Khondji (Se7en), costumes from Jean Paul Gaultier and a haunting score by Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Dr.), THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN cemented Jeunet and Caro’s reputation as filmmakers with a unique vision. Extras: • NEW Interview with directors Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro • The making of THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN • Behind the scenes • Interview with designer Jean Paul Gaultier • Audio commentary with director Jean-Pierre Jeunet
