NOTES The strange Krank and his gang are the product of genetic

engineering by the proverbial mad scientist (the gang are

clones all played by Dominque Pinon).

What is missing from Krank's makeup is the ability to dream

so he kidnaps children to steal their dreams. Ironically,

because they hate him, he gets their nightmares.

Krank makes the mistake of kidnapping the adopted brother of a circus strong man who then sets out in pursuit.

If you have seen "Delicatessen" by the same directors you'll

know to expect an imaginative, colourful, eccentric film.
