　　《瑪德琳的瑪德琳》是美國女導演約瑟芬·戴克最新的一部作品。這部電影講述了一個戲劇導演，在創作她最近的作品時所產生的故事。這也是約瑟芬·戴克的第14部作品。作品中的角色和她本人頗為相似，同樣作為導演的她，也是一名演員。戴克以往的作品，總是帶著一定程度上的形式化的美感，也顯露著女性特有的細膩。在她的作品中，鏡頭更像是一雙可以無限接近角色人物的眼睛，時刻捕捉著主觀視角下的人物的行動和當時的情內心狀態。

　　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....
