"In The City of Lost Children, Jeunet and Caro have presented
another gloomy world where "normal" life is no more. The film is
saturated with atmosphere and features some of the most imaginative set
construction of the year. The picture works in part because the film
makers have taken the time and effort to frame a strange land where all
their quirky characters can live and operate. Jeunet and Caro's movie
is thematically and stylistically inspired by such diverse sources as Frankenstein, Dracula, Brazil, Time Bandits, and The Wizard of Oz. Like Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children is characterized by dark, twisted humor, yet this movie is more of a fantasy than a macabre comedy."
Daniel Emilfork is wonderfully frightening as Krank. Bald-headed and
evil-looking, he evokes memories of Max Schreck's vampire in the classic
silent film Nosferatu.
