With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at fantasy fans. Leaves you with ideas to chew on afterwards.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1920: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
Loie Fuller, in her 1920 feature-length film Le Lys de la vie, […] explored the new technique for poetic ends, creating fleeting, dreamlike images that "freed" the medium from "illusionism" and imbued it with fantasy.
