The City of Lost Children
Join us at M+ Cinema for a screening of ‘The City of Lost Children’. the science fantasy film about a being who steals dreams from children.
A mad genius is incapable of dreaming, causing him to age prematurely. He devises a scheme to have his henchmen—six clones, a brain, and a dwarf—kidnap children and extract their dreams to feed into his own brain. A circus strongman called One sees his adopted little brother taken by the henchmen. He joins an orphaned girl and sets off on an adventure to rescue his brother. Having worked in comic books, music videos, and advertising, longtime collaborators Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet create a phantasmagorical world filled with steampunk machinery and characters from a post-apocalyptic carnival. Thirty years after its initial release, The City of Lost Children continues to boast exceptional special effects and a uniquely impressive style.
