From Dante 01 to Chrysalis, and beyond, French sci-fi is always welcome around these parts and this flick looks as ambitious as you might expect.

In a slightly odd but welcome move Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will finally release Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s cult classic The City of Lost Children as an Amazon-exclusive Blu-ray release on October 13. The release is timed with the French film's 20th Anniversary.
Though it wasn't their first film, the visually striking City of Lost Children helped to launch the careers of Jeunet (Amelie) and collaborator Marc Caro (Dante 01) as well as Ron Perlman. The film was incredibly influential and a progenitor of the "steampunk" aesthetic in film

Famous French director/visualist, Marc Caro (Dante 01, Bunker of the Last Gunshots, City of Lost Children), is producing an ambitious animated 3D feature adaptation of Alain Damasio's popular book, "La Horde du Contrevent," which is about a world savaged by great gusts of wind and a group of survivors struggling to reach a safe haven.
Though still in the early development stage, there appears to be a package put together which includes director Jan Kounen whose recent Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky starred Anna Mouglalis and the great Mads Mikkelsen (Valhalla Rising, Pusher) and a whole bevy of producers and media partners from publishing to gaming.

After watching Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s newest film, “Micmacs”, I started to wonder what has become of Marc Caro. It was an easy question to answer; I simply hadn’t taken the time to ask it before. In 2008, he made his debut as a solo director with the science fiction film, “Dante 01”. To call it just a sci-fi movie does “Dante 01” a disservice. Not only does it inhabit the sci-fi realm, but it crosses neatly over into psychological horror, and rounds itself out as a prison movie, complete with a brutal shanking. Orbiting high above the molten planet Dante, is the prison space station Dante 01. More than a simple prison, it is a psychiatric hospital for a handful the most violent offenders deep space has to offer. These prisoners are volunteers, they all would have been executed otherwise, and they participate in a range of psychiatric experiments, testing new procedures and protocols.

This review contains both mild spoilers and enthusiastic praise.
Enter the Void is a 21st century "head" movie designed for consumers of psychedelics, designer drugs, and potent substances yet to be invented or discovered. Points of reference include the Star-Gate sequence from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and the work of experimental non-narrative filmmakers like Kenneth Anger, Tony Conrad, Stan Brakhage, and Jordan Belson. Gaspar Noe's goal is obviously not to tell a traditional story or create "likable" characters. The intent is to create an immersive experience that replicates varied states of human consciousness (real or imagined). To this end, Enter the Void is a success. The film is most certainly flawed: it is self-indulgent and barely holds together at times. However, the pureness of Gaspar Noe's vision and the innovative means by which his vision is achieved trumps any of the film's faults.

The original opening line of this review was: “Legion is a film that requires you to check your brain at the door”. However I found myself arguing that such a tone would be greatly unfair to expectation and the filmmakers. If anything, Scott Stewart’s apocalyptic survival-horror movie has too many ideas flying around alongside the blood and guts.
There’s the sense it wants to hit too many bases instead of focusing on what could have been a pretty good spin on the apocalypse-horror film. Unfortunately, by the end, the film’s energy and originality is replaced with outright silliness. I’m always suspicious when former special effects men get to direct films…they’ve hardly got a great track record. Remember Roger Christian, Pitoff and Marc Caro’s movies? Okay, Caro is more of a proper filmmaker than the other two, but Dante 01 was bloody awful.

Ever since we excitedly reported that Dimension Extreme had quoted our review on their release of Marc Caro's Dante 01, we've been getting reports from readers of possible sightings of more quotes on DVDs around the world. And now, thanks to Qe reader, entizari, we've received a couple photos showing a quote from our fearless leader, quietearth, on the Australian R4 release of Lionsgate's Gene Generation (review). So big thanks to entizari for sending the shots. Studios don't usually ask or let you know when they plan on using a quote from your site so it's always a surprise when you see this stuff out in the "real world." It's awesome to know that people are out there helping spread the good Qe word.

May 13, 2009 In the ‘90s, Marc Caro became internationally known as half of one of the world's most inspiring teams of foreign filmmakers by making Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children with Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Those two masterpieces hinted at wonderful things to come. Well, Jeunet went on to make Amelie and A Very Long Engagement, but Caro essentially disappeared with only one TV credit between Children and this year. Somewhat surprisingly, at least to this viewer, Caro’s Dante 01 hit DVD on April 21st, 2009. This dark sci-fi vision has ...Read more at MovieRetriever.com...

We didn't even know this till this past weekend when Ao was looking at the front/back cover image on some website and I actually went to the video store to verify and there it was. This is the first major cover we know of but expect many more to follow in the years to come.. so congrats to Fergus who wrote the review and the whole Qe team! Woohoo!

The only French director I know of who has done anything sci-fi that was worth watching was Luc Besson when he came out with “The Fifth Element”. Granted, I’m not exactly privy to the in’s and out’s of French cinema, but the sci-fi thriller “Dante 01″ sure sounds, feels, and looks like nothing I’ve seen before. Check out our full preview of “Dante 01″, which is currently available for purchase or rent exclusively at Blockbusters.

Finally a decent DVD release week with a few things worth checking out. At the top of the list has to be Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler, which may not have gotten a lot of love at the Oscars but is still the best movie of last year according to Film Junk. Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon also hits stores today, along with the Notorious B.I.G. biopic, Notorious, and Battlestar Galactica prequel pilot, Caprica. If you're a fan of horror or sci-fi, you might want to look at J.T. Petty's horror-western The Burrowers, Marc Caro's sci-fi flick Dante 01, or the Hellraiser Puzzle Box, and quirky documentary lovers won't want to miss Audience of One. Also out on Blu-ray this week: Sin City and the X-Men trilogy.

Cerebral scifi fans take note; Marc Caro's Dante 01 (review here) finally gets a release from Dimension Extreme this week! When I first saw the film I immediately fell in love with its claustrophobic oddness, but for those of you who are easily offended by obtuse 2001 style incomprehensibility I recommend maybe Netflixing it before deciding on a purchase.
Then of course we've also got the much ruminated upon offshoot of the recently concluded Battlestar Galactica series, Caprica out this week. Regardless of everyone's belief that this will be a dull and short lived spin-off, I'm still interested to see the Adamas' backstory and the birth of A.I. on the soon-to-be destroyed planet.
We've also got a few titles on the horror front this week. The biggest for horror buffs may be Anchor Bay's Hellraiser boxed set. Considering it's only the first two films with no added extras I'm...

Science Fiction as a movie genre has many entries in it which suffer from a low budget, especially when taking place in outer space. Too many times have we seen people in cheap jumpsuits walk the same three corridors for the majority of a film’s running time, talking lengthy nonsense in serious voices, pretending to be inhabitants of some vast space station in trouble.
And at first glance “Dante 01” fits exactly into this category. The budget is low, everyone is speaking in some sort of leaden prose and the set design is, indeed, people in jumpsuits walking the same three corridors.
But there the comparison stops, for this movie has some aces up its sleeve, the biggest of which is director Marc Caro. Known primarily for his surrealist collaborations with Jean-Pierre Jeunet (together they made “Delicatessen” and “City of the Lost Children"), Caro is one of the very...

This is not to be confused with the post apocalyptic zombedy of the same name, this is a straight horror film which was announced long before. We had posted info that the crew was scouting locations, and now James has given us permission to announce shooting will begin in November. It will be shot on location in France, but will be done in English. It will star Brad Dourif (we all know him), Arly Jover, Beatrice Rosen (The Dark Knight). Music will be done by award winning composer Klaus Schulze, with special FX being done by Christophe Spadaccini (Immortal, Irreversible, Dante 01, Eden Log). And probably the biggest news of all is that the director of photgraphy will be Laurent Chalet who lensed March of the Penguins.

So it wasn't very well received, at least initally, but Weinstein has picked it up and our reviewer loved it. Yes, visually it's stunning. "Deep space, at the edge of the galaxy. The future. A new prisoner arrives on top security prison ship and psychiatric research unit Dante 01. Sole survivor of an encounter with an alien force beyond imagining, Saint Georges is a man possessed by inner demons, caught up in the battle to control the monstrous power within him. It's a power that will infect the other highly dangerous occupants of Dante 01, gaolors and prisoners alike, unleashing a violent rebellion that turns this terrifying, labyrinthine world upside down. In the otherworldly hell of the ship's depths, through danger and redemption, each must journey to his very limits... each must confront his own Dragon."

Chalk this up as something we could be keeping an eye on. Attempts to contact the trio of production companies in Zurich, Luxembourg and France have proven to be fruitless in these last 24 hours so I’ll offer up what we know right now. French actors Lorànt Deutsch, Dominique Pinon [Dante 01, City of Lost Children and Delicatessen], Philippe Nahon [Haute Tension and Brotherhood of the Wolf] and Sara Forestier [Perfume: The Story of a Murderer] star in the film. This will be the debut film by Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon. Pierre-Olivier and Jacques-Olivier chiseled their jibs as makeup effects men on Twitch favorites like Inside and Blade II [well, Inside at least I can’t speak for everyone else about Blade II]. So we can be sure at least there will be very good effects in film. Just how bloody they will get with them we’ll have to see. What is it with French directing duos by the way? Its...

It has been a long time coming for director Marc Caro [City of Lost Children and Delicatessen] to get behind the camera and direct his new film Dante 01. The film offers a re-interpretation at the first cantica of the Divine Comedy, setting three circles of Dante’s Inferno in a futuristic, orbiting psychiatric hospital.
There is a short interview over at Cineuropa today. The director talks about his film, the challenge of the small budget, the nature of the science in his film and its nods to other science fiction films. He also cites the influence of the anime films of Japanese directors Satoshi Kon and Katsuhiro Otomo. You can read the brief interview following the link below.
