The FIFTH ELEMENT (PG) presented on 35mm
The Fifth Element at Revival House Perth
Enter Luc Besson's dazzling and utterly unique 1997 sci-fi spectacle that reimagines the future as a vibrant, chaotic, and wildly imaginative adventure. In the 23rd century, when an ancient evil threatens to destroy all life, ex-soldier turned cab driver Korben Dallas finds himself protecting Leeloo, a mysterious perfect being who may be humanity's only hope for survival.
Bruce Willis brings grounded humanity to the outrageous futuristic world, while Milla Jovovich creates an iconic performance as Leeloo, speaking her own constructed language with ethereal grace and fierce determination. Gary Oldman chews scenery magnificently as the flamboyant villain Zorg, while Chris Tucker's hyperkinetic Ruby Rhod steals every scene as the galaxy's most eccentric radio host.
Besson's visionary direction creates a universe unlike any other in cinema - from the towering flying cars of New York City to the luxury space cruise liner Fhloston Paradise. The film's production design by Dan Weil and costumes by Jean Paul Gaultier create a lived-in future that's both beautiful and bizarre, while Eric Serra's eclectic score perfectly matches the film's genre-blending energy.
This is pure cinematic joy that combines opera, action, comedy, and romance into an unforgettable experience that celebrates both the power of love and the beauty of controlled chaos.
