The Extraordinary Adventures Of Adele Blanc-Sec BRRip XvidHD HC Eng Subs 720p











Adèle Blanc-Sec (Blanc-Sec “comme le vin”, as she says) first appeared in print in 1976. She’s a cynical but intrepid Indiana Jones-esque heroine of the Belle Époque who writes books about her curious adventures, which often involve occult elements or mad steampunk science, as well as sly digs at official corruption or incompetence. She’s endearingly frowny, with freckles, but unsurprisingly has undergone prettification for the screen in the comely shape of Louise Bourgoin, a former “Miss Météo” (weathergirl) for Canal+, who in 2009 was nominated for the César du meilleur espoir féminin (most promising actress) for her role as – yes! – a weathergirl in Anne Fontaine’s La fille de Monaco.

Bourgoin has yet to prove her acting chops but is an undeniably attractive screen presence, particularly when she gets undressed to take a bath (see bottom picture). Elsewhere, she rattles off Adèle’s dialogue with deadpan aplomb as she steals a mummy in a raid on an Egyptian tomb, escaping in a sarcophagus before going on to encounter the pterodactyl which has been terrorising tout Paris, including the President and his dog.

While Adèle is too spirited and independent for romance (and the eligible beaux on display are all too wimpy) the motivation for her actions stems from a family tie…
She’s seeking a cure for her beloved sister Agathe, who has been in a coma ever since a freak tennis accident.
