A Monster in Paris poster★ 6.9

Paris, 1910. Emile, a shy movie projectionist, and Raoul, a colourful inventor, find themselves embarked on the hunt for a monster terrorizing citizens. They join forces with Lucille, the big-hearted star of the Bird of Paradise cabaret, an eccentric scientist and his irascible monkey to save the monster, who turns out to be an oversized but harmless flea, from the city's ruthlessly ambitious police chief.

The emergence reading

In A Monster in Paris, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “monster-Paris”. The story fights on E8/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, authority, love, music.
