Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010)

An adventure set in the early part of the 20th century and focused on a popular novelist and her dealings with would-be suitors, the cops, monsters, and other distractions.

Deliberately silly, but not so funny fantasy; it does have the usual Luc Besson excellence in production details.
