An odd little film that looks fun

based off of the Franco-Belgian comic adventure series Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec (The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Dry-White). [Somewhere I'm pretty sure I have the translated Adele and the Beast published by Dark Horse Comics back from when I worked at the comic store.] The film is set to premiere in France in April. I hope it is made available on DVD; I doubt it will be shown anywhere near Lexington in the cinema. The costuming looks superb. And really, how can you hate a pterodactyl terrorising 1912 Paris? Thanks to Edward Pearse of Through the Filter of a Victorian Aesthetic for the link.
