Le Tour du monde en 80 jours

About This Movie

So, Le Tour du monde en 80 jours from 2017 is an interesting take on Jules Verne’s classic. It’s adapted from Thierry Janssen's play, and directed by Thierry Debroux, though the director's name doesn’t really ring a bell. The film has a light, comedic tone that contrasts nicely with the adventure elements. The pacing is pretty brisk, which keeps things engaging, but it also feels a bit rushed at times. The performances have this charming, theatrical quality—possibly due to its stage origins. Practical effects are used creatively, which adds a tangible feel to the journey. Overall, it’s a unique blend of humor and exploration, giving a fresh spin to a well-trodden tale. Worth checking out for the curious collector.
