Micmacs

Watching a Jean-Pierre Jeunet movie is like peeking into a dream.  Well, they feel like peeking into MY dreams - to be honest, I'm not really sure what anyone else's dreams are like.  The music . . . the cinematography . . . every frame he creates is like a work of art.  Jeunet lets his imagination run wild and the viewer gets to sit back and watch in wonderment.  I was lucky enough to see Amelie for the first time at The Town Theatre in Highland, Indiana, where the velvet curtains flanked by knights of armor close at intermission and everyone steps into the lobby for free tea and cakes.  I can't imagine a better setting to see Amelie whisk away garden gnomes and paint records on to turntables.

Lucky for us, Jeunet has done it again and his new movie looks just as playful and engaging as his others. Micmacs opens in theaters on May 28.
