Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957)
.jpg)
To save his career, a writer for television advertising wants a famous actress to endorse a lipstick. In return, he has to pretend to be her new lover.
Pretty
wild satire is something like a work of pop art with its glaring colors
and collage-like editing, but the humor is often in your face and hit
and miss.
Halliwell (no star): "A too-wild satire on TV commercials: less frenzied direction and gag-writing would have prised more humour from the situations."
Maltin***1/2: "Clever satire...springboard for scattershot satire on 1950s morals, television, sex, business, etc. Director-writer in peak form."

La cité des enfants perdus (1995)

A scientist in a surrealist society kidnaps children to steal their dreams, hoping that they slow his aging process.
Exuberantly imaginative fantasy (more horror than just a surreal fairy tale)
is mesmerizing throughout due to its fascinating settings and visuals,
some of them disturbing, too; the plot itself is a bit perplexing in its
twists.
Halliwell*: "A bizarre hyper-active fantasy that yields many incidental pleasures, although coherence is not among them."
Maltin***: "Provocative fantasy...Although dramatically uneven, this mix of Oliver Twist and BRAZIL is a marvel of production design, with sumptuous visuals and painstaking invention."

Delicatessen (1991)
.jpg)
In a post-apocalyptic world the landlord of an apartment building occasionally prepares a delicacy for his odd tenants.
Wildly
imaginative madcap black comedy seems to know no boundaries and comes
up with fast-paced twists and surprises, all made with style and
panache.
Halliwell***: "A gruesome theme given an exuberant, witty, cartoon-like treatment."
Maltin***1/2: "At the very least, this is the most original and entertaining comedy about cannibalism made to this date. Brown-and-white color schemes, which would ordinarily look like a lab mistake, contribute to the film's trenchant visual style."
