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
- Right up the alley of anyone who grew up on fantasy maps and anyone who likes secrets inside secrets. A proper quest, with a world big enough to get lost in. If you loved Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, start here. Nobody is quite who they seem.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 37 min.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
