Jeunet's (DELICATESSEN, AMELIE) latest unique creation is at once a playful comedy imbued with the romance of cinema and a satire on the arms trade.
In his typically inventive world, some charming and unusual characters join forces to take on two weapons manufacturers.
Boon plays Brazil, who was orphaned as a boy when his father was killed by a bomb.
As an adult, he is shot in a freak drive-by incident, which leaves a bullet lodged in his brain that could kill him at any moment.
Emerging from hospital jobless and penniless, Brazil joins a group of amiable misfits living in a scrap yard and begins plotting his revenge.
The gravity of the premise is counterpointed to extraordinary effect by the aesthetic delights and humour found aplenty in this fun and pacey yarn.
