Micmacs

Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet

From the director of Amélie comes another distinctive cinematic satire. Bazil plans to destroy two big weapon manufacturers, with the help of his friends.

REVIEWS

“Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s films are rich, textured and enjoyably eccentric affairs, and have deservedly earned him favourable comparisons with the likes of Gilliam and Burton. [Micmacs is] impressively inventive and entertainingly convoluted” Empire

“For children, Micmacs might be a wonderful first taste of foreign film.” The Times

“Jeunet is a master of comic-strip filming, the kind we associate with the Coen brothers of Raising Arizona or The Big Lebowski, and with the Terry Gilliam of Brazil or Baron Munchausen. Nobody beats him for sheer comic inventiveness and the speed with which he whips ideas into crazy reality.” The Independent
