F is for Fhloston

I'm still not entirely sure what Fhloston actually is, since the language is a little weird on wikipedia and wikia, but I'm pretty sure it's the planet that the Fhloston Paradise orbits around in The Fifth Element. (It was also a setting for the film when Besson first wrote it when he was 16.)

That being said, no one in the movie actually sets foot on the planet. But hey, the space liner sharing it's name had some pretty cool fight scenes. And singing scenes.

I saw the Fifth Element post-heyday. That is, after it had been out a over ten years, in a film class during undergrad. Cuz, you know, I pretty much minored in science fiction. Sure, sure, my degree says 'global media studies' but I had two classes on digital media, one on superheroes and cyborgs, and another on sf literature. Not to mention those two creative writing classes....

That being said, I enjoyed this movie right away. I wouldn't say it's a favorite, but I can see why it has its own following (and was quite surprised to learn one of them way my neighbor's father.)
