I hope there's a sequel as I'd love to see how the characters develop in another adventure and what happens to her sister. The Extraordinary Events of Adele Blanc-Sec Blu-ray Review |
Re. your review and the 'nudity' issue. Scenes like that have no sexual connotations in France really, boobs and bums are a common sight on day time TV and adverts and the general outlook on nudity is nowhere near as prudish as the UK and the BBFC.
Like you rightly pointed out I think it's purely subjective and the BBFC are probably covering their arses (no pun intended) - I mean that whole bath scene was alluded to earlier in the film and one could argue that it's an integral part of the story, the fact that the viewer gets a flash of a Blanc-Sec in the nuddy is neither here no there really - well that's what I reckon anyway.
