7/10
Super fun, super weird, super Besson
27 August 2020
The Fifth Element is weird, wacky, creative and cheesy as hell. It has one of the most ham fisted love stories I've ever seen, a truly ridiculous lore and over acting out the wazzoo.

But this film's boundless creativity, art direction, costumes and performances really sell it. I wanted to know more about this film every second. I appreciate something like this coming from a true auteur like Besson, with his weird edits and cinematography accentuating the wonderous tone.

Not for everyone, but I still think everyone should at least give it a chance.
