The latest unforgettable slice of impossibly quirky life from Jean-Pierre Jeunet (AMELIE), is as charming and as visually dazzling as ever. MICMACS is a thrilling comedy centred around a group of misfits’ plan to bring down two big arms manufacturers. The group is led by Bazil, a man down on his luck following an accident that has left a bullet lodged in his brain and a good chance that he will die at any moment. The story of Bazil’s revenge is populated by Jeunet’s trade-mark characters with their unique foibles and abilities, including the young Calculette who can immediately estimate weights, distances and speeds and an inventor whose junk yard creations are put to bizarre use in the plan. Jeunet continues to beendlessly inventive in his story telling, and MICMACS is a perfect balance of visual feast, edge-of-the-seat plot and witty wordplay.
