Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec, The

“A romp magnifique, with enough thrills, giggles and pretty pictures to reward adventure-lovers.”~Angie Errigo, Empire

Aroview: Luc Besson helms this outlandish female-scented romp, centred on the tomb raiding escapades of a writer (a fetching Louise Bourgoin) whose mission is to exhume a mummified doctor from ancient Egypt and bring it back to life.

Fantastic set-pieces and a free-wheeling sense of adventure contribute to the film's pulpy, page-turning quality in the best traditions of Indiana Jones.
