After a long interval of six years,Jean Pearre Jeunet has brought us his new movie Micmac which is embellished with his as usual weirdly inventive imagination of real world, his trademark visual style which makes his movie adorably beautiful and the melodious soundtrack.
Micmacs is a story about a orphan basil who has a bullet in his head and the reason for him being a orphan and bullet in his head is the two weapon manufacturer companies which are run by very vicious and immoral peoples.The story is about vengeance of Basil from this two companies who had destroyed his life and in his revenge which turned out for me to be one of the most clever,wild and comic revenge plan,i have ever seen in a movie,he is accompanied by his underdog friends who are proficient in their own unique qualities and live together in a cave like home,repair second-hand household equipments.The movie is basically a satire on the weapon manufacturer companies who do illegal arm dealings just to make more profits and are responsible for millions of death and casualties over the whole world.But instead of being thought-provoking and efficacious the movie sticks to its style all the time which makes it emotionally less involving for the audience but very funny and comic ride.The movie had lots of funny and wild moments that kept me entertained all the time.
All the characters were strange and weird but very lovable that can only be emerged from the mind of Jean Pierre Junette.The sober and innocent character of Basil(David Boon) had the striking resemblance to Charlie Chaplin.a contortionist girl(Anna Ferrie) who is as flexible as elastic and also the love interest of basil.a calculator girl (MarieJulie Baup) who has exceptional ability to calculate anything. Tiny Pete(Michel Cremades) is an artist with a shy and cheerful face who can convert a junk into useful things.Tambouille(Yolande Moreau) is the leader of the family.We cannot imagine a Jean Pierre movie without Dominique Pinon in it and he was amazing as always in the very funny role of francaisse,a human-cannonball.
Cinematography was stunning,the exquisite use of colors made the movie very easy and beautiful to watch.the art direction in the movie was also splendid which makes the movie visually attractive.
The weakness of the movie was its dialogues which were not touching and striking but remained funny all the time.More emphasis should be given to plot development,instead of relying completely on style and visuals.
Jean Pierre Junette is one of my favorite director and i always enjoyed his work.The best thing about the Junette's work is that even if his movie is based on real and present world,it never seemed like one.Like his other works,Micmacs is also full of weird and strange imagination, but this time it was lesser surrealistic and more realistic .However, Micmacs is not among his best creation,movie remained comic and funny all the time without any striking quality in it but movie surely is enjoyable and entertaining and worth a watch from everyone who loves Jean Pierre Junette movies and his world of beautiful and strange imagination.
