It's such a wonderful story of a dreamer and an innovator who created the whole world of fantasy film, and how he lost it all during World War I. In fact, his library of films was melted down to make lady's shoes!
The other part of the story is about a young orphan boy hiding out in a Parisian train station clock tower.
That part is not so interesting and unfortunately takes up a majority of the film. He romances and adventures with a young girl and visits a book shop... it just takes up time. I did, however, LOVE the Sacha Baron Cohen character.
In fact, he could have been enlarged because they added an important dose of humor and whimsey.
I give the film a B.
