Review of Micmacs (2009) by Matthew F. J — 20 Feb 2014
The new Jean-Pierre Jeunet isn't a great film but it's beautifully shot, full of creativity and inventions characteristic of his cinema. The story is a little superficial and goofy like the cast.
The actors seems to have a lot of fun playing silly characters but somehow it turns the film into a cartoonish entertainment where some serious might have help raise the quality here and there. Still the concept is original and we can salute the effort here to try something different.
Unfortunately it feel a little repetitive , the design of the film reminds us of his previous work, the tone and music same. I would have enjoyed to see some novelty but as I said the effort is interesting and full of inventively original tricks.
