The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec

15 certification
/ UK PREMIERE
Director: Luc Besson.
France, 2010. 105 mins. French with English subtitles.
Who else could unleash a pterodactyl swooping above the boulevards of pre-First World War Paris? Set your imaginations to soar with French director Luc Besson's return to the big screen with his version of Jacques Tardi's much-loved cartoon strips and books.

Intrepid young journalist Adèle Blanc-Sec (Bourgoin) laughs at fear and is ready for anything.

Which is just as well as she must face down Egyptian mummies, buck-toothed villains and a refugee from the Jurassic era in her quest to find a cure for her desperately ill sister.

THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES blends eye-popping fantasy with gorgeous period detail and precisely the sort of strong female lead we’d expect from the man who gave us NIKITA.

France fell in love with Louise Bourgoin, for her portrayal of a thoroughly French heroine full of wit and charm, as we’re sure you will too.
