But the current contest between the neo-Gaullist Jacques Chirac and the Socialist Lionel Jospin only emphasizes the gulf between the real challenges facing France and the public skepticism that any politician can solve them.

Mumba’s acting conveys the emotional and physical landscape of the future world in a way that the extravagant set does not. Apparently Warner Brothers built a 65-foot tall working waterfall–despite the expense, it’s an entirely forgettable special effect. Jeremy Irons, as the chillingly androgynous Uber-Morlock who runs the dark world of the Morlocks through mind control, has the one memorable monologue in the movie.
