Synopsis
MICMACS is the latest dazzlingly cinematic outing from Jean-Pierre Jeunet
(AMELIE, DELICATESSEN), a satire on the arms trade which grounds this
director's cinema of fantasy firmly in reality.
Bazil (Dany Boon) is the son of a bomb disposal expert who died on a job
in Morocco. Years later, Bazil is struck by a stray bullet, which remains
lodged in his head, leading to some strange side effects. Bazil doesn't
have much luck with weapons. The first made him an orphan, the second
holds him on the brink of sudden and instant death.
Released from the hospital, Bazil is homeless but adopted by a motley crew
of secondhand dealers living in a veritable Ali Baba's cave, whose talents
and aspirations are as surprising as they are diverse: Remington (Omar Sy),
Calculator (Marie-Julie Baup), Buster (Dominique Pinon), Slammer
(Jean-Pierre Marielle), Elastic Girl (Julie Ferrier), Tiny Pete (Michel
Crémadès)
and Mama Chow (Yolande Moreau).
With his team of misfits he sets out on a quest to bring down those he
holds responsible for his misfortunes. Breathtaking and inventive, with
pacy, edge-of-the-seat storytelling, MICMACS has no end of visual gags and
witty wordplay.
