Lakewood Public Cinema: Micmacs Rated R

Micmacs (2009)                      Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet                   Rated R

Why do films exposing the corrupt humanity of death-dealing arms merchants always have to be so dreary and depressing? The director of Amelie has found another way. A ruined victim of random violence teams with a colorful band of misfits to pit the manufacturer of the bullet in his brain against the maker of the landmine that took his father's life with one brave shenanigan after another. In French with English subtitles.
