This
was bought at a nerd conference for 10 Swedish crowns (about 1£). It must be
worth it, right? It’s Besson after all.
Paris,
1911. Flying dinosaurs. Young love.
Egypt.
Intrepid journalist Adèle Blanc Sec is riding a camel in search of archaeological
sensations. Mummies and things.
It’s
like I imagine a Saturday matinée to be – adventurous and far-fetched, n’est-ce
pas?
That’s
one way of putting it.
Besson
has a most varied repertoire, to be sure, but this is just silly. Can this
really be the same director who made Léon and La Femme Nikita?
Ce
n’est pas possible!
Fortunately, the last half-hour is quite entertaining. The revived mummies are amusing, saving this from being a complete turkey. It's worth 1£ but no more.
