I love City of Lost Children - one of my favorites. Yeah, Ron Perlman is the guy's name. A passing resemblance to (an uglier) Tom Waits has been noted.
If you liked City, check out Delicatessen, the first film from the directors Junet and Caro. A simpler (but still unsual) storyline, and not quite as dark or developed as City, but a beautiful look to the film and really good (jolting) ideas. Some of the same actors appeared in Delicatessen - ie. the looney diver/scientist and his clones from City. My favorite scene from City? Don't know (too many to choose) but the flea-drugged killer plugging his own video feed into the thug's prosthetic eye and then showing himself being strangled would be close.

I havn't seen Junet's latest; 'Amelie' yet. Junet also did one of the Alien series - think it was No. 4. Some of his troupe (including Pearlman) appeared in it.

Good viewing,

Sattler

PS. Love Jackie Chan as well. Actually met him once while he was shooting a film in Melb. Drunken Msater 2 makes all other martial arts films look pale.
