Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s puckish yet profound approach to filmmaking, evident in such films as AMELIE and THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, has been delighting audiences for years. His latest, MICMACS, is no exception, dealing as it does with arms dealers who show a complete indifference to the results of their actions, and the inventive denizens of the lowest rung of society who declare war on them.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet, San Francisco, CA 4/24/10
When I spoke with Jeunet on April 24, 2010, I was most interested was his process of turning something so morbid into a film that was so much fun. He also covered the opportunities to be found in having a leading man drop out at the last minute, his attitude towards CGI, and his beef with the current crop of French film critics.
