I think we’ve seen stuff like the teardrop scene in cinema before. Especially a few early Disney and WB cartoons come to mind, I guess.What’s painfully missing from this review is how “City of Lost Children” is the second of Jeunet and Caro’s hommages to Terry Gilliam after their earlier “Delicatessen”. They’ve said in interviews that the style of the two films deliberately mimicks Gilliam’s, and one of the two was even released in the States with a “Terry Gilliam presents” sign in the credits.And I feel the city’s era is much closer to the 1920s and 1930s, making it not really steampunk, but rather dieselpunk aka decodence. For me, it’s simply the dark decodence style pioneered by “Brazil”, it’s just that all the futuristic technology is confined to Krank’s platform. Krank’s name, BTW, means “sick” in German, which I doubt is a coincidence, also with all the genre’s references to German Expressionism that also Jeunet and Caro were toying with.Anyway, wasn’t the floating lab originally created by the amnesiac inventor-turned-diver?

As much as I remember, he created parts of the lab’s scenery, then lost his memory when he got hit on the head, ever since when he took refuge in the sewers and lived off whatever floated by or he could find in the sea. 366 Weird Movies is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
