Film Review
This little gem of cinematic surrealism from Jean-Pierre Jeunet is of course now immediately
recognisable as a precursor for his subsequent films, such as Delicatessen
and Le
Fabuleux destin d’Amelié Poulain. Jeunet’s distinctive visual style,
particularly his unique way of drawing us into the fantasy world of his film’s main character,
is very much in evidence. The film’s opening sequence, where the camera pans along
a shelf in a butcher’s shop, instantly reminds us of Delicatessen, the film which
Jeunet went on to make with Marc Caro. Another link with that film is its
main actor, Dominique Pinon, whose rubber face goes through the most extraordinary contortions
in the course of this film.
