This is a big, fancier-than-usual graphic novel. The drawings in the book--which is subtitled "a novel in words and pictures"--are phenomenal. The story is nice, though I could care less about French filmmaking history. Actually, scratch that: the story is trite and weird. It focuses on a young boy who lives in the walls of the Paris train station in the 1920s and keeps the clocks running. He is trying to repair a mechanical man he found. And that's the beginning of the story: it only gets stranger.But the drawings are wonderful.
