Yet another Jeunet film, filled with unusual characters in an unusual world. The uncanny and anomalous nature of this film feels very familiar, in the sense that it portrays Jeunet's unique vision. From the bizzare angles to the expressive faces, all the ingredients are evident for another charming Jeunet film. I must express my praise to Pierre-Jacques Bénichou who has been Jeunet's casting director for a majority of his films. He's done yet another brilliant job with this film, casting actors such as Marie-Laure Dougnac, Karin Viard and of course bringing back frequent collaborators of Jeunet, Ticky Holgado, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, and of course, it wouldn't be complete without the wonderfully amusing performance from Dominique Pinon.
