Micmacs – France – 1 hr 44 min – Jean-Pierre Jeunet – with subtitles
The director of the beloved Amelie brings his trademark whimsical style back to the screen with this wacky tale of a video store clerk who tries to bring down Parisian arms dealers. Of course! Jeunet’s hyperactive imagination is applied to a 40’s-style caper film and it almost feels like a silent film, given the sparse dialogue. The actors, featuring Dany Boon, are unforgettable and the film is a pure delight.

Yea!!!!! I’ve been hoping to see this one!
Hooray for The County!!
Jean-Pierre Jeunet film. . . Hoping to see this one as well. . .. Hooray for The County!!
Saw this in NYC at the Angelika- Jeunet creates another visual masterpiece with all the pieces of his personal touch. Magical, heartfealt and cheers for the everlasting underdog. I’d see it again to catch missed details.
A long time fan of Jeunet’s work looking forward to seeing this.
