I don't think this has been released in the US.
For the context, it's good to know that France has a very sophisticated adult comic book market and Enki Bilal is one of the top SF 'comic' book illustrators & writers.
Here, he puts his "La Foire aux immortels" to film - one of the first to use "digital backlot", like Captain Sky or Sin City.
Immortel is more refined, image wise, than Sin City, more perverse than 5th Element and tells the story of Eygyptian Gods 'battling' in New York, 2095.
Features a beautiful Charlotte Rampling and and even more beautiful lead heroine in Linda Hardy.
The images are completely stunning and this is certainly a film worth catching for it's daring, even though the pace is not perfect.
Follow Ups:
It ran on Sundance or IFC a few months a go and I missed the beginning so i rented it from Netflix. I really liked the visual style and terrific imagination apparent in every frame of this movie, and no it is not the highest grade CGI but that almost adds to the surreal quality - cartoon like characters mixed with real actors. Agreed, Linda Hardy caught my eye and looks great in blue!
This movie is a little lumpy in spots, it is not really clear as to how Jill got to Earth etc. but who cares? The main story of a god looking for a compatable woman to carry his child and a compatable man he can use as a vechicle to impregnate her was excecuted in an interesting manner with inventive bad guys trying to break it up. I do not know how a movie this goods gets no recognition in the states but am glad some artists persist with their visions and push to make this sort of thing. If you want to see a futuristic science fiction movie put this on your short list.
