Seeing that it's been released on Blu-Ray I'm gonna guess that a few more than "maybe a thousand souls in a world of seven billion humans know about it."
Count me as one of the 1000 that know and love Touki Bouki, but I didn't get the reference until you pointed it out. Very cool. I just wish I had a copy of the film to show in my film class. I need to get on that.
I think I'll check out "Touki Bouki". Thanks for the recommendation.
