Arthur Benzaquen and his technical team have created a wide-ranging, spectacular film, in which every shot conceals a crazy idea without disrupting the storyline. The film is rich in characters, who are well written and well cast. Jean-Paul Rouve, Vanessa Guide, Audrey Lamy, Eric Judor, Michel Blanc, Kev Adams - the whole menagerie is perfect. Not forgetting Arthur Benzaquen himself.
The cavern sequence with its musical tiling is an excellent idea and a clever pastiche of Indiana Jones. The flying carpets are perfect, thanks to digital technology. It's rhythmic. It's spectacular. And it's fun. It's a success in its genre.
Kev Adams is the carefree, venal hero. Jean-Paul Rouve as the bad guy who knows he's bad. Vanessa Guide and Audrey Lamy play characters who add mischief and twists. The whole cast makes a well-balanced contribution to the peregrinations of Adalin Kev Adams, who isn't the most interesting character, but fortunately all the others are, with their humor and contribution to the story.
