Plot
Summary: Paris. 1830. In the heart of the
town, Vidocq, a famous detective, disappeared as he
fights the Alchemist, an assassin that he has been
pursuing for a few months. His young biographer, Etienne
Boisset, decides to have revenge on Vidocq's death
and takes the investigation on...
Comments:
An
interesting film that blends elements of Myst, Phantom
Of The Opera, Rembrandt and Stephen King. The story
line is frankly confusing and I'm still not sure just
who killed whom or why. But it is a film with stunning
visual impact, something between video game graphics
and an old master. There is a dark and gothic tone
to it, quite unlike anything Hollywood has ever done,
with rich hues and the impact of lustrous old oil
paintings. In that regard it is quite remarkable.
However the excessive number of close ups and fast
cuts is disconcerting and the plot is difficult to
sort out. But the plot is almost secondary to the
imagery.
