Film of the Week : The Fifth Element



Sorry about last weeks Film of the Week life got a touch too busy just around the point of writing, and so at some point perhaps this week we shall try to bring you an extra one to make up for last week.

1997 saw the release of one of our eras best sci-fi films and the union of some fantastic actors too boot. Featuring performances from Bruce Willis [last seen in our Film of the Week : Die Hard], Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Chris Tucker and Ian Holm [last seen in our Film of the Week : From Hell], The Fifth Element tells a tale of a cab driver in a dystopic future earth, who meets a girl. Really after that the story is of its own, fantastic in our opinion but you'd really need to see it for your self. This really is not an explanation of the film but rather a teaser. A notable reference artistically [concept art that is] is Moebius, or Luc Besson.

This film really, for it's genre is in a class of its own, endlessly entertaining, light hearted and stylish, Enjoy!
