OK I will say from the start if you're not in the mood for ludicrous amounts of enthusiasm and gushing about my favorite French film director then now might be a good time to stop reading!Today I caught the first teaser clip of the new film from the bizarrely talented writer/director Jean-Pierre Jeunet entitled Micmacs à tire-larigot which is a comedy in the style of Oscar nominated Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain and the 1991 black comedy Delicatessen. It's the directors first film since 2004's A Very Long Engagement and early word is that it is a satire on the arms trade. The clip below clearly shows we are certainly going to be in for yet another visual treat care of the gorgeous colors employed with such stunning effect in Amélie.
Fans of modern French cinema will surely recognise two of the best homegrown actors France has to offer with the lead going to Danny Boon who was so good in 2006's Mon meilleur ami. It would hardly be a Jeunet movie without the appearance of the terrific Dominique Pinon whose performance as the paranoid would be Casanova of the Cafe Des Deux Moulins in Amelie still makes me laugh when I think about it now.
Micmacs à tire-larigot releases in France on October 28th and hopefully not too long after that across the pond.
