As a massive fan of 'Delicatessen' and 'The City of Lost Children', both movies often floated around my top ten list, I was eagerly anticipating watching Marc Caro's first directorial debut film 'Dante 01'. So it is with a heavy heart to have found the film to be relatively empty. The sets, performance, camerawork, soundtrack and design all had Caro's signature written all over them, masterfully creative and creating a wonderful offbeat world. It is just a shame the script wasn't there. It never really got off the ground; despite a few elements of potential developments, nothing ever eventuated, and the ending was highly anti-climactic. It would look great projected silently onto the back wall of a party to provide interesting visuals, but apart from that, I would give it a pass.
