Fresh and entertaining
I’ve seen this movie through cable this afternoon. It was a real surprise. I admit I cannot get through the plot thoroughly since it was in French. But being a French movie is a real plus here. The story took place in 1830 France. The country was in disarray after repeated changes in government. The setting is dark and depressing. Everywhere you can see people are suffering. It’s in their attitudes, their clothes, their environment. This is not something you will see in other movies of this period. Characters’ movement are splendid, especially the Chinese/French woman whose name I forgot. Her movement makes this movie looks like art. I know that this movie is a horror film, but it’s an artful horror. The plus side of being French is that it doesn’t stick to the Hollywood-style horror. Its emphasis on emotions and audiences’ feelings make this movie outstanding comparing to Hollywood’s. Summay: This movie is definitely R (violence, nudity, I guess). So, it your are over 18, give it a try. You’ll find it enjoyable even if you’re not horror fan. However, if you dislike the genre, this one may not be powerful enough to change your mind.

Beautiful, dark, atmospheric
Spectacular supernatural thriller set in Paris in the year 1830. The movie looks and feels like “Se7en” meets “The City of Lost Children”. The film stars well-known French actor Gerard Depardieu as Eugène Vidocq, a former criminal turned detective. Vidocq really existed, and may well have invented the private eye business as we know it. While the man was real, this story however, is fictional, involving a series of bizarre murders and a mysterious character who wears a mask that reflects like a mirror.

The movie is reportedly the first film recorded with a digital camera (the same equipment used in Star Wars Ep. II, reportedly) resulting in crystal-clear images. Not only that, but many of the scenes were digitally enhanced, giving the movie a surreal feel, not dissimilar to some other oddball French movies like the aforementioned “City of Lost Children” (at least some of the same people were involved in the production design of both, so that may not be surprising).

Some of the action scenes are quite spectacular; in a few scenes, we see Vidocq take on the masked/cloaked villain, and comparisons to both both “The Matrix” and SW Ep. I suddenly seem inevitable. This is not to say this movie is a rip-off – no, far from it. It’s a joy to behold.

Also, the movie has a good soundtrack; dark & heavy, fitting the movie’s subject matter, and reminding me of the soundtracks of movies like “Batman” & “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”.

This is one movie well worth checking out. Highly recommended.
