La Cité des enfants perdus
The film's style is often compared to that of the works of Terry Gilliam (especially "Brazil"). Some stylistic similarities have also been noted to Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro's 1995 film "The City of Lost Children", another film inspired particularly by Gilliam (Gilliam had presented Jeunet's and Caro's previous film "Delicatessen" in North America, another film by Jeunet and Caro that was a deliberate homage to Gilliam's style).
