The Fifth Element is an incredible film - up to a point. The set designs are uniformally spectacular. The costumes, by kilted Eurotrash presenter and bad boy of Parisian fashion Jean-Paul Gaultier, will knock your colour-coordinated socks off. The special effects, by a Digital Domain team headed by ex-Blade Runner model shop boss Mark Stetson, are world-class in quality and brain-overloading in quantity. And Luc Besson - reunited with his gifted Nikita and Léon cinematographer Thierry Argobast - has always been inspirational when it comes to pointing a camera. For these reasons alone, Fifth Element is must-see cinema - especially if you enjoyed Blade Runner and Total Recall, the films it most closely resembles.
