A little rec for sister-shippers who enjoy a wild romp of an adventure/fantasy flick every now and then: The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec by Luc Besson.

The titular character sets the plot in motion by deciding she'll do EVERYTHING in her power to wake her twin, Agathe, from a seemingly irreversible coma. Even if "everything" includes bringing a Pharaoh's royal doctor's mummy back to life to see if his ancient knowledge will be enough to cure her.

Thanks for the recommendation, Anon!

the goncharov renaissance is unlocking some memories for me because my dad used to put the french dub on all them time (he got the disc from his colleague it’s still in the house somewhere) to learn the language and seven year old me saw the brdge scene and was fundamentally changed. he did this with the extraordinary adventures of adele blanc sec too- of all the random movies lmao

Enter the Proseverse, a world of Period Dramas colliding in the Romantic Era and flinging our most beloved literary and dramatic characters into society alongside original muses as they navigate their own stories, the narrative of Prose, and Gothic Nature.

Period Drama - Belle 2013 or The Imprtance of Being Earnest? Want the female protagonist's vibes: The Muumy, Pacific Rim, or The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec?

I really want to see Belle but I haven't gotten around to it!!! And Importance of being Earnest is one of my favourite plays of all time, but alas no movie adaptation made its way on here. The period drama is a lot more basic than those tbh, it's very much core period author.

As for the vibes, I'm afraid none of those are on there either, it's not a fantasy or sci fi or anything, it's a realistic drama with some comedy in it.
