Micmacs

France, 2009, 105 minutes, Comedy
Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet
French with English subtitles.

After a long-awaited absence from comedy, Jean-Pierre Jeunet delivers the follow-up to his much-loved Amélie. Many of the same elements are present — quirky humour, the imaginative story, colourful characters, all delivered in Jeunet’s vivid visual style.

Micmacs is the tale of Bazil, an orphan who wants to seek revenge on the weapons manufacturers who produced the tools that injured him and killed his father. This task seems impossible until Bazil encounters a band of misfits who welcome him and his quest with open arms. Together they come up with an outrageous plan and the slapstick comedy that ensues is not to be missed. Nominated for three César awards.
