	GreenCine \| product main - The City of Lost Children (1995)
		Denree (Joseph Lucien) is one of the children who has been spirited off to the island; Krank discovers that he's an even bigger problem than he imagined when his big brother One (Ron Perlman), a harpoon-wielding mountain of a man, sets out on a rescue mission.
		Rather, City brings to the fore the fringe elements of such a society: the street performers, the recluses, the terminally impoverished, the homeless, and the lost children.
		Children are being kidnapped from the tenement neighborhood adjacent to the docks in an apparently large industrial city.

		The search for such lost cities by European adventurers in the Americas, Africa and in Southeast Asia from the 15th century onwards — although initially mostly motivated by little more than greed — eventually led to the development of the science of archaeology.
		There was an Arabian city named Ubar, which became abandoned with changes in trade routes, and its location was forgotten for some centuries: it was rediscovered in 1992 by satellite photography revealing the traces of the ancient tracks.
		Some of the cities which are considered lost are (or may be) places of legend such as the Arthurian Camelot, Russian Kitezh, Lyonesse or Atlantis, whilst some, such as Troy and Bjarmaland, having once been considered to be legendary, may actually have genuinely existed in the real world.

	DVD Review - The City Of Lost Children
		Krank (Daniel Emilfork), a mad scientist is trying to find pleasure in children’s dreams, and uses his futuristic devices to dive into their consciousness and become part of their dreams.
		Beautifully acted, "The City Of Lost Children" pulls much of its appeal from the performances of Ron Perlman as One, a sentimental big guy, and even more so by Daniel Emilfork, whose sharply defined, rat-like look greatly exaggerates Krank’s personality.
		"The City Of Lost Children" contains the film’s original widescreen presentation in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio that is enhanced for 16x9 TV sets, as well as a pan & scan transfer.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: The City of Lost Children \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Another wacky and dark and visually dazzling film by the makers of "Delicatessen," "The City of Lost Children" is similarly set in an apocalyptic future - or, perhaps, just in the unique universe where French filmmakers Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro apparently lost their minds long ago.
		Meanwhile, he is assisted by his dwarf wife (Mireille Mosse), six cloned adult children (all played remarkably and hilariously on-screen together by Dominique Pinon) and a disembodied brain named Irvin, which is kept alive in a fish tank.
		"The City of Lost Children" is rated R for violence, some profanity and vulgarity, and a brief shot of scantily-clad women running from a strip joint.

		In the way it populates this plot with grotesque and improbable characters, "City of Lost Children" can be called Felliniesque, I suppose, although Fellini never created a vision this dark or disturbing.
		Krank's world includes a large number of children, kidnapped for their dreams, along with a brain that lives in a sort of fish tank, several cloned orphans who cannot figure which of them is the original, some very nasty insects, and Siamese twins who control the orphans for nefarious ends.
		If "City of Lost Children" had been released then, the "2001" fans would have segued right across the street to take it in.

		Childhood ends quickly in Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's The City of Lost Children: a gauzy Christmas scene of toys and snowflakes and Santa diabolically metamorphoses into the nightmare of a grotesque.
		The Cyclops, for example, are so called because their own eyes have been removed and replaced by a single mechanical one that is so acute, according to their leader (Serge Merlin), it peers through the veils of fleshly illusion to the essence of the world.
		City is a postmodern fairy tale, inhabited by monsters of mythic implication.

		After his brother is kidnapped for his dreams, One the Bodybuilder (Ron Perlman) works with a young girl (Vittet) and her orphan gang to save the boy and themselves.
		City of Lost Children works because the whole proceeding makes you very uncomfortable - you're always on the edge of your seat.
		If The City of Lost Children's plot doesn't keep you interested, and it should, there's always something new and amazing on the screen to look at.

		Krank's fatal flaw is that he cannot dream, and so he's taken to kidnapping small children from a nearby port city (hence the name of the movie), strapping them to his evil machine on his oil platform castle, and trying to inspire pleasant dreams in them so he can share in the joy.
		Before the children will help him, One is conned into helping them and their evil "landladies," a pair of twin sisters collectively called "The Octopus" because they move and act as one (although they are not Siamese twins, as some have said).
		But innocence is about to be lost, rapidly; the fuse that the brain had thrown off the oil rig earlier in the day has found its way to the port at last, and in sinking has been discovered by the Diver.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN (1995)
		From the opening scene of THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, I knew I was in for a movie the likes of which I had never seen before.
		The city is dark and damp, all stairs and walkways.
		I particularly like the attention to the little details in THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, like Vito "Nine-Fingers"—a skeleton with its feet imbedded in concrete that had been fished from the bottom of the port by the Inventor, or the little mechanical details of the cyclops' eyes and the disembodied brain's tank.

	The City of Lost Children for PlayStation Review - PlayStation The City of Lost Children Review
		In Psygnosis' adaptation of the film The City of Lost Children you play Miette, a young orphan girl forced to prowl the crusty and desolate streets of Paris in a dystopic near-future where children are stolen by a mad scientist and made to play bad film adaptations for the PlayStation.
		But it's tough to imagine a fate worse for tomorrow's children than to be struck powerless in the midst of as many tedious and arbitrary puzzles as this.
		The end result is that you get to stand in every possible spot in the city, hoping that useful items will appear in your "useful item" window so that you can seek out the right place to be while holding the correct item when you push the action button.

		They would have pictured a world in which work was performed by the turning of enormous grinding gears on gargantuan machines covered with the tens of thousands of rivets necessary to hold the machinery together in face of the wear and tear caused by the turning of those massive moving parts.
		That is the world of the City of Lost Children, the Industrial Revolution gone mad with ugly, snorting, belching metallic machines which have made the sun disappear forever, and have made "rust" the dominant color of the earth.
		He is some kind of genius as an inventor, however, and his latest advancements consist of dream-stealing machines, for if he cannot dream his own dreams, he must steal the dreams of others, tuning into their brains, watching their thoughts.

	The City of Lost Children for PC video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The City of Lost Children is a graphical adventure based on the beautiful but disquieting French film by Jeunet and Caro.
		Instead, you walked Miette around the city with selectable camera views of her as she walks, much like in Tomb Raider (not quite the same quality of graphics, though, but I'll get to that).
		City of Lost Children is visually enticing, and there are some nice moments of discovery, but few surprises.

	City of Lost Children
		The City of Lost Children is something of a fable set in a city in either the future or an alternate reality.
		And whether it's Vittet playing an orphan who's become wise and jaded beyond her years, or Lucien as the toddler who's mostly unfazed by the pyrotechnics that have the other kids screaming, the children here defy the Hollywood standard of cinematic children who are by turns cutesy pies or obnoxious hams.
		Since the children are the film's center, the metaphorical imaginative core of a society that has perhaps forgotten the value of its dreams, it's reassuring that the actors give unmannered performances that put the histrionic antics of celebrity brats like Macauley Culkin in proper perspective.

		Based on a French film of the same name, The City of Lost Children follows the exploits of Miette, a twelve year old orphan, as she carries out daring robberies instigated by Pieuvre, the Siamese twins, and cruel head (or should that be heads?) of the orphanage.
		Children in this dark and decaying, docklands area are disappearing -- kidnapped, no doubt, for some sinister purpose -- and, all in good time, Miette learns what is going on and must attempt to put a stop to it.
		The City of Lost Children provides many detailed and interesting locations with plenty of atmosphere, which makes it a fascinating gameworld to explore.

		They have named their group the Mothers of the Courthouse Plaza, inspired by Argentina's Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, whose children disappeared, presumably murdered, during that country's Dirty War between the government and suspected rebels.
		The Brazilian mothers' nightmare is a bitter result of the dream of adoptive parents from industrialized nations, who have flocked to the developing world in recent years in hopes of building families.
		"For years, he has taken children from parents who are poor and uneducated and haven't been able to fight back until now," the graying Colagrossi told me shortly after he became involved in the mothers' cause.

		The action is set in a lawless, murky and polluted city built of grimy Victorian clockwork and sinister 1920s electric equipment whose main industry seems to be a nonsexual trafficking in children.
		Similarly, in The City of Lost Children, a child's tear sets in motion the wreck of a ship; sea gulls and a basket of rotten fish trigger an execution; and a simple, grimly hilarious device keeps food perpetually out of the reach of a starving mutt.
		The City of Lost Children has the sense, rare in cinema fantasies and especially rare in fantasies of this scope, to witness the imagination running in any direction it pleases.

		The field was named Lost City in part because it sits on a seafloor mountain named the Atlantis Massif, and because researchers were using the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's vessel Atlantis when the area was discovered.
		Microorganisms at Lost City live in highly alkaline fluids that are nearly as caustic as drain opener, Kelley says, whereas organisms inhabiting fl-smoker vents are well adjusted to acidic fluids..
		Carbonate minerals from fluids at Lost City drape nearby cliffs in brilliant white and form vents ranging in shape from tiny toadstools to the 18-story column, named Poseidon, which dwarfs most known fl smoker vents by at least 100 feet.

	The City of Lost Children Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Set in a decaying-yet-beautiful urban landscape, The City of Lost Children is a fairy tale of sorts in which little boys and girls are stolen from their homes and subsequently mined for their dreams.
		As one might expect, the time and locale within which this "make-believe" story takes place is never revealed — save for the fact that the alley-riddled city in question rests on the edge of a nameless body of water and never sees the light of day.
		Now that The City of Lost Children is available on DVD, the beauty and magic of the world they created may be enjoyed and appreciated that much more.

	City of Lost Children - Interview with Jeunet & Caro
		In "The City of Lost Children," the process begins with the teardrop, which arrives to, ultimately, save Miette's life.
		Fairy tales, on the whole, take place in the forest, the characters are a little bit lost, there arelights far away, etc. We adapted that so that there are lights in the port with the lighthouse far away, and there's the rig that's a little like a "castle" for the evil sorcerer.
		It's modernized, with all our imagery...you couldn't have it by the sea at Club Med!...There has to be a balance between the subject, the look of the film, the characters, and the overall cohering story.
