The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec
Product Description
The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec
The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec is the latest film from acclaimed director Luc Besson, and it’s one that ranks with some of his finest work. It’s also, comfortably, one of the year’s most enjoyable movies. Set during early 20th century Paris, and based on the comic book series of the same name, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec finds the title character embarking on some far-fetched quests, with the feel of an old-fashioned family adventure movie. It’s a winning mix, and certainly makes for exciting cinema.
The film is helped by its casting, too, not least Louise Bourgoin as Adele Blanc-Sec. But it’s also an exciting, funny and adventurous movie, that’s got no shortage of imagination to it. It effortlessly blends different genres, and while there’s the odd bump across the film’s running time, it’s a small price to pay for such an enjoyable, rollicking film.
Hopefully, all concerned can be convinced to reunite for further adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec. For now, though, it’s hard to resist the many, many charms of The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec. --Jon Foster
