Review of Micmacs (2009) by Rod S — 03 Apr 2010
It felt like an eternity awaiting Jean-Pierre Jeunets next film. "A Very Long Engagement" was over 6 years ago, and "Amelie" was 9 years ago, and the wait was almost worth it. "Micmacs" is as you would expect from Jeunet; fun, quirky, colourful, inventive and very French.
The plot loses focus at times in order to maintain these staple ingredients in the film. At times there are flourishes of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin and even Terry Gilliam, but always Jeunets personal touch of eccentricity flows through the film.
Delicatessan and Amelie are the closest comparisons as to what to expect, which is a hell of a fun ride. Highly Recommended.
