I am not particularly familiar with the bande dessinée, but Luc Besson's film adaptation of The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec definitely has a Franco-Belgian comics look and feel, filled with inept policemen and politicians, caricatured make-up, and a flighty blend of humor and adventure. Adèle sits at the crossroads of Indiana Jones, the 90s Mummy films, and Tintin (indeed there are several sly references to the latter's adventures in this), but with an extra dose of whimsy that lets you believe anything can happen in this bonkers story (as you should). Much of the film is carried by Louise Bourgoin's fiery, dry-witted, turn-of-the-20th-Century Lara Croft, even if we spend a lot of time setting up the various other characters in the tale (it does pay off, even if it doesn't always seem necessary). You only know you're in B-movie land in a couple of places where the CG fails the production, but it's nevertheless a bit of fun. How else are you going to get mummies AND pterodactyls in Paris? 5 years 10 months ago -
