The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, is a 2010 film by Luc Besson, based upon a French comic of the same name. Starring Louise Bourgoin in the title role, Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec is set in 1911 Paris and features a lady adventurer, her unlucky twin, a fortunate dog, a pterosaur, an eccentric scientist, a posse of revitalized mummies, a smitten grad student, an evil nemesis, a clueless police detective, and a bumbling professional hunter. Yeah, it's that good. It riffs on Tin Tin, the Indiana Jones saga, and the Brendan Frazier Mummy movies, but its dialogue is more witty and its production values are stunning. Available as a NetFlix watch instantly option, the PG-rated The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec is must see for anyone able to read the subtitles.
