The year 1997 was a banner one for movies in every genre.
“You had ‘L.A. Confidential’ and ‘Donnie Brasco,’ ‘Good Will Hunting’ and ‘Titanic,’ and ‘As Good as It Gets,’ ” producer John Amicarella told The Post.Amicarella was an associate producer on French auteur Luc Besson’s. Set in 2263, it sees ex-military cab driver Korben Dallas team up with a mysterious orange-haired woman named Leeloo to save the planet from a malevolent alien force, which is being helped by ruthless businessman Zorg .
The sprawling action movie was stuffed with color, music and eccentric humor; it made a star of Chris Tucker, who played flamboyant TV personality Ruby Rhod, and enlisted comic-book artists to render a future New York City and designer Jean-Paul Gaultier to engineer cutting-edge costumes. “Luc Besson did everything I thought a great artist should do,” sound designer Mark Mangini, who worked on the film , told The Post. “He hired the most creative people in every department, and just told them to do what they do, without any micromanagement. That, to me, was an epiphany.”
Twenty-five years on, Amicarella, who most recently worked on Roland Emmerich’s “Moonfall,” is still impressed with Besson’s work. “It’s funny, it’s imaginative, it’s got romance and action, it’s kind of dazzling. You’ve got these wacky unforgettable characters, and it’s a little baffling at times,” he said. “The bottom line is, it’s really unique and in today’s world, it holds up.”Luc Besson in front of a poster for “The Fifth Element” in 1997.
