Amélie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s magnificent black comedy tells the story of Bazil (Daniel Boon), a mild-mannered video shop worker, who, after a lengthy hospital stay caused by a gunshot wound, finds himself unemployed and living on the street.
Bazil decides to take revenge on the weapons manufacturers who put him in this predicament and sets about coming up with a plan to bring them down, with the help of a new found family of friends; an underground society of misfits called the Micmacs.
Micmacs is a dazzlingly, pacy and wonderfully witty satire that will make you fall in love with Jeunet all over again.
