Jan Kounen: Gisele Kerozene (1989)

Gisele Kerozene is a strange stop-motion film from director Jan Kounen. The depiction of witchy trolls racing throughout an urban landscape on diesel-fueled flying brooms is like an intersection of the Wizard of Oz and Akira’s infamous `Bike Scene`.

Three witches give chase to a thief who has stolen a small statue. One by one, the thief eludes or dispatches his pursuers, as they zoom through the cityscape.
