Directed by: Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Starring: Dany Boon, Andre Dussollier, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Dominique Pinon, Yolande Moreau

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. Dany Boon leads a terrific cast including André Dussolier, Dominique Pinon and the matchless Yolande Moreau in a thrilling comedy about one man's plan to destroy two big weapons manufacturers, with a little help from his friends.

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. After losing his job, Bazil assembles a rag-tag team of misfits and 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 and no end of visual gags and witty wordplay.
