Buzz: One of the most sought after titles at TIFF with subtitles, buyers and the viewing public can expect the essential Jeunet-esque trademark elements to make it into this film: visual flair, curious looking and sounding characters, and Jeunet’s ability to stretch comedy into all sorts of directions.
The Gist: Co-scripted by Guillaume Laurent and Jeunet, this is a satire on the world arms-trade. Is it better to live with a bullet lodged in your brain, even if it means you might drop dead any time or would you rather have the bullet taken out and live the rest of your life as a vegetable? Are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes? Is scrap metal worth more than landmines? Can you get drunk from eating waffles? Can a woman fit inside a refrigerator? What is the human cannonball world record? Micmacs, a fantastical comedy from the world class director of Amélie and Delicatessen, answers these questions and way more.
