Pâté (2001)
10/10
Awesome
2 April 2004
A friend of mine lent me a copy of this film (apparently it's a bit of a cult film in LA) and it was just awesome. Dark and funny and beautifully designed. It has

that amazing look of "City of Lost Children".

The acting was impressive, especially the two kids (wasn't the little girl on "Life with Bonnie?". But the killer was the design: the director's vision of the

apocalypse is not some barren desert, but a rich landscape crammed with the

decaying detritus of our consumer world. Where objects (like the people) that were once beautiful, are now somehow sordid and sinister. An incredible film.
