The City of Marvels () is a 1999 epic historical drama film directed by Mario Camus and co-written by Gustau Hernández, Esther Cases, and Olivier Ollin based on the novel The City of Marvels by Eduardo Mendoza. It stars Olivier Martinez and Emma Suárez.
Set in early 20th-century Barcelona, in the period in between the 1888 and 1929 Expos, the plot tracks the social climbing of ambitious Onofre Bouvila.
The film is a Spanish-French-Portuguese co-production of ICC with Tanaïs COM, France 3 Cinéma, SEP Cinéma, Continental Filmes, and RTP.
Distribute by Filmax, the film was released theatrically in Spain on 28 May 1999.
Jonathan Holland of Variety lamented that, excellent production values notwithstanding, the big-budget Euro epic "lacks the subtlety of the original novel and rarely rises above the proficient, hampered by too many flat characters, too many events, too many minutes and an almost humor-free, too-many-cooks script".
