"Micmacs à tire-larigot" is a film of revenge. That said, this is a light an fluffy film of revenge. Bazil, our hero, has a grudge against two arms manufacturers in Paris, one made the land mine that killed his father, the other made the bullet, that by a freak accident got lodged in Bazils brain.
Bazil falls in with a group of outsiders, living on the fringe of Parisian society. With their street performer and scrap salvaging skills they manage to topple two powerful empires.
This film is more on a par with Amelie, rather than City Of Lost Children or Delicatessen, which I believe makes it open to a larger audience, though the entire length of the film is toonish and circus like, so I believe it's not for everyone.
rated D/M/A
