I checked filmography of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, which revealed that he’s in production of film Bigbug and it’s interesting in conception. I amaze to director’s staging vision and I liked his watched movies. Jeunet’s new film is a moment to see unwatched.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet before full-length movies was filming shorts and music videos and frequently with Marc Caro with whom they did in collaboration Delicatessen and La Cite des enfants perdus (The City of Lost Children). I like, as it has any director’s film, demonstration of unbelievable creativity in directing, design and scenery. It is where in his wonder places it’s opportunity for actors to show their spectacular performing abilities. His constant Dominique Pinon astonishes in multiple roles in The City of Lost Children, which I watched for less than an hour when Delicatessen saw with credits, but both films in very similar feelings. A sense should be there with a screenplay, which unexplained in details. It’s unknown about outside world in Delicatessen can understand that it’s post-apocalypse place where structures in functioning as can see by a postman, a taxi driver and a main personage is a circus clown who arrived by advertisement, but meat in absence and that’s factor degraded inhabitants of apartments to cannibalism. A cook says that even all rats were eaten. But it makes untied that one of characters lives in charming place with snails and frogs and in he feeds himself by first. Magic of that film finished to simplicity of a story from where was lost of interest to follow for actions and personages. I like in films of Jeunet that he doesn’t make Tarkovskiy thing, which is forgetting on plot for a beautiful camera shot. His with Caro staging is not from outside.
Alien: Resurrection was a split between Jeunet and Caro, because the last didn’t like Hollywood while Jean-Pierre was vice versa by getting of big budget and creative control. That’s film has original theater version and longer “Special Edition” with changed few scenes and added episodes, which are unnatural for plot. Introduction doesn’t combine with whole Alien films overall by soldier and fly in space shuttle capsule; destructed Paris and uncertain future are things, which don’t fit; ties with previous parts is collapse for ambience of the film. Jeunet released that version, but said it’s not director’s cut and he prefers theater version and by that I think that this DVD made for sales. Alien series are always flicks have impressive radical and extreme twists as a main heroine in Alien: Resurrection is one of clones of Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver wanted to kill her character since Aliens and didn’t wish to play here, but changed mind after bunch of money.). Weyland-Yutani is gone (Walmart acquisition mentioned in Special Edition is far crazy.) and army corporation United Systems Military realized in wish to have xenomorphs by cloning a main heroine (never understand motifs of these mad corporations as Windows Vista from Microsoft and wasabi and soy sauce flavour from Pringles.). She has a physical strength and abilities by alien, which original Ripley hooked. Circumstances unifies Ripley 8 with group of mercenaries for escape from a ship. Jeunet harmonizes tension of danger from xenomorphs and excellent gun shooting. His fantasy made astonishing scenes as with glass of whiskey, a scientist contacts with alien behind panel, Weaver impresses in learnt basketball technique and shots by herself. In films of this director surprise and mystery also have in staging.
Amelie is a film where director’s vision has magnificent screenplay. I heard many time a main theme, but passed many years when I decided to watch. Amelie is a soulful and touchable film where a lead character in starring of Audrey Tautou makes unusual acts as gives happiness to good people (scenes with blind and a man who did see his toes in decades I can watch personally.) and punish awful personalities. It’s where I got a charm. Jeunet wants to make mockumentary where will “investigation” what happened twenty years later.
Un long dimanche de fiancailles (A Very Long Engagement) wasn’t captivating for watching despite I like about the Great War on which rarely comes worthy. I read description of a plot, because I had confidence that I willn’t get in this very romantic film and sense had a right red light. The director often in other films involves a little place for love, which can be in unnecessity while in A Very Long Engagement it’s in main position and uninteresting and has exaggeration. All right, I prefer flicks with divorced and unmarried men (and better if they have a beard.) to whom Charlie Sheen’s character can say awkward thing that he stinks of whiskey. I also left outside The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet. I didn’t find interesting in movies based on child books and kids in main roles, because I absolutely in sympathy to grumpy old people.
Impressive screenplay wrote the director in Micmacs where enhanced comedian talent of Dany Boon plays a character gets a bullet, meets with unusual people on junkyard and organizes together with them revenge on weapon manufacturer. Once again, by a creative talent of director who mesmerizes from started tragedy to fine comedy and beautiful conclusion.
