Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to remember a steampunk film that I watched years ago on TV, and I’m hoping you can help me find it. Here’s what I remember:
It’s a live-action film in color, possibly British or American, released in the 2000s or early 2010s.
A steampunk aesthetic, machinery and a mentor-mentee dynamic.
There’s a scene where an older man (mentor) and a young woman or teenage girl(possibly a main character) are surrounded by mechanical devices.
At one point, the man asks the girl what her favorite geometric shape is. She answers it’s a cube.
He then pulls out a cube and talks to her about it, explaining its significance in some way.
I don’t remember much else about the plot, but this scene has really stuck with me, and I’ve been searching for this film for a while. Does anyone recognize it?
Thank you!
I don’t suppose that would be “Cube” from 1997?
Sounds like Mirrormask (2005).
