The City Of Lost Children (1995) W/ Mike Burton - Forbidden Worlds Film Festival 2025
Description
Next up in our Forbidden Worlds Film Festival 2025 reviews is a obscure French film from Jean-PIERRE Jeunet & MARC CARO! The City Of Lost Children (1995) a bizarre cyber/steampunk world with Ron Perlman, clones and scary Santas! This must have been an inspiration on Guillermo del Toro. Definitely not one for Mike's wife Megan due to it's hardcore weirdness! Listen as we attempt to explain this film's unusual dream-like logic... #PrepareForPrattle
