Episode 254: The City of Lost Children with Jared Skolnick

Movie Night Extravaganza

On our third Movie Night Dystopia episode, Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Kt Baldassaro talk to filmmaker Jared Skolnick about Marc Caro & Jean-Pierre Jeunet's the City of Lost Children.

The City of Lost Children is a fairy tale like surrealist black comedy about a mad scientist who kidnaps orphans in order to steal their dreams.

Two years ago, on Movie Night Apocalypse, we talked to Jared and Kt about Caro-Jeunet's earlier film Delicatessen.

The City of Lost Children stars Ron Perlman, who learned literally just enough French to say his lines, as well as Dominique Pinon, Daniel Emilfork, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, Cemetery Man's François Hadji-Lazaro, and Judith Vittet. #ronperlman #french #frenchcinema #surrealism #dreams #jeanpierre #marccaro #jeanpierrejeunet #amelie #filmpodcast #moviepodcast #horrormoviepodcast #cinema #frenchmovie #dystopian

Jared's latest project is WOODFELLAS: While traveling to the countryside to 'deal with’ an informant, three Boston mobsters run afoul of a murderous woodland cult. Cornered in a cabin, they must band together to survive a siege of zealots ready to make them their next sacrifice.
