在天眼尚未密布，監場保安仍會打瞌睡的二十世紀七十年代，名畫大盜就是會光天化日，大剌剌走進美術館，直接把獵物從墻上取下放入布袋運走。看似兒戲的一切，背后主謀還要是住在市郊、人畜無害的住家男人。凱莉·萊卡特完全棄用好萊塢盜寶片敘事公式，改以其擅長的左翼簡約主義鏡頭，捕捉觸犯藝術罪行者的日常生活、雙面人的言行處境，以及事件周遭人情冷暖。阿瑟多夫的抽象畫作未必是一個借口，但到頭來凸顯存在荒謬的公路逃亡，儼然為觀眾添加了不少欣賞和思考的層次。

　　As its title suggests THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE is an awe -inspiring, meticulous cinematic rendering of the aesthetic and conceptual inventions of proto-science fiction genius Jules Verne, based on one of the famed author's lesser known short stories. However, the real star of the film is the intricate art direction, successfully rendering the visual style of nineteenth century woodcuts and engravings into motion pictures, creating a stylized and surreal graphic world within which Verne’s fanciful tale unfolds. A brilliant scientist, Dr. Roche, perches high above a stormy sea, inventing a powerful explosive, when he and his assistant are kidnapped by an evil businessman, Artigas. Taken by submarine to Artigas' volcano headquarters, Roche is tricked into developing his experiment for evil intentions. The scientist’s assistant, Simon, struggles all the while to free himself and warn Roche. A magical world of baroque submarines and sailing ships, killer octopus, undersea bicycles dazzles audiences as human actors, puppetry, animation and fanciful scenic design interact to create a cinematic experience that is unique by any standards. Mixing slapstick comedy, action adventure pacing and Mélies style film magic, this little known Czechoslovakian gem transcends the juvenile literature at its source to create cinematic art of the highest order....

　　本片是蘇聯偉大衛國戰爭系列史詩巨片之一部。影片盡情歌頌了蘇聯人民，在德國法西斯圍困列寧格勒的900個艱難的日日夜夜，所表現出來的頑強精神。影片及表現了蘇軍大本營對列寧格勒的戰略布防，也表現出列寧格勒市民面對生死的堅忍不拔。同時也是為數不多的蘇聯戰爭影片，客觀地表現了戰爭初期紅軍失利，以及紅軍將領伏羅希洛夫元帥組織列寧格勒城防的失敗。影片還展現了列寧格勒基洛夫工廠，冒著的德軍轟炸，堅持為前線生產武器，以及軍隊和市民通過城市唯一與外界的通道——拉多加湖通道，運送糧食、武器和其他戰略物資的場面。該片還較為詳實地展示了希特勒攻占列寧格勒的計劃，以及紅軍與市民聯手防御，共同抗敵的畫面。這部影片，將戰爭的全景展示與戰壕細節完美地結合起來，直到今天仍不失為一部反法西戰爭的優秀影片，很值得觀賞和借鑒。
