Les Aventures Extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc Sec
This movie, adapted for the cinema by Luc Besson from a comics series by Jacques Tardi, made for a particularly entertaining evening.
Adèle Blanc Sec, played by Louise Bourgoin, is a novelist living in Paris in the early 1920s, who, in order to save her sister after an accident, travels to Egypt to bring back the mummy of a royal doctor. There is also an orphan “ptérodactyle” flying around and messing things up in Paris and driving police inspectors to the point of madness. The little detail of the royal doctor being dead should be addressed by a Professor, friend of Adèle, specialised in reviving the dead.
The film is full of hilarious situations, which include a heinous adventurer, a shy admirer, many visits to prison and a whole collection of quite distinguished mummies.
