Verdict:<\/span> Viva Adele!<\/p>\n

Rating: \"4<\/strong><\/p>\n

A wise-cracking female adventurer in pursuit of a supernatural historical artefact while pursued by a dizzying array of cartoonish bad guys sounds a lot like Indiana Jones in a frock.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, in the hands of the mercurial director Luc Besson (Leon, The Fifth Element), our heroine\u2019s derring-do is rendered anything but derivative.<\/p>\n

If any echoes are detectable, they are of Terry Gilliam\u2019s immersions in fantastical scenarios and, thanks to liberal applications of latex and prosthetics, the story\u2019s source: the French comic books of Jacques Tardi. At the heart of the film\u2019s success is the central performance of former TV weather-girl Louise Bourgoin.<\/p>\n

\"Weathergirl<\/p>\n

Weathergirl turned film star: Louise Bourgoin as Adele<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An Edwardian travel writer with a penchant for extreme archaeology, she is seeking the mummified remains of a pharaoh\u2019s physician in the hope her mad scientist and amateur resurrectionist friend, Professor Esperandieu (Jacky Nercessian), will bring him back to life.<\/p>\n
