Fantasy adventure starring Ron Perlman. The evil Krank, tormented by his inability to dream, seeks revenge by kidnapping children in order to steal their dreams. When circus strongman Mr One's little brother is seized, he sets out to rescue the boy.
Ron Perlman, who at last made a big-screen impact in the fantasy genre with 2004's Hellboy, stars in this sinister adventure from French directors Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, who, with their extraordinary Delicatessen, set new standards for dark fables. This surreal tale is an astonishing eye-opener from its nightmare opening to the climactic battle, as carnival strongman One (Perlman) leads the fight against the evil Krank (Daniel Emilfork), who steals children's dreams. For those who thought films could do nothing new, prepare to be surprised.
