Visually grand, mentally transfixing
When you think of revenge movies you generally picture a guy with a gun taking a swift and direct action against everyone who has ever wronged him. Guns are a theme here but not because our lead character, Bazil, uses one to fight injustice but because two prominent French arms dealers are responsible for his predicament. Bazil’s father was killed by a landmine and Bazil himself is unwittingly shot by a stray bullet during a drive by shooting. Though he survives, the bullet remains in his brain causing him regular discomfort and meaning that he might die at any moment. This adds an underlying tension to the fairly subtle story as Bazil, out of work with nowhere to live, finds comfort with a group of fascinating sideshow style vagabonds who eventually become his allies in his battle against the greed, murder and manipulation of powerful arms dealers.

Aside from a truly riveting series of sly, witty and purposeful acts by this band of revengers, the film is also striking in its beauty with every scene presenting an intense array of colours fusing with incredibly intricate and detailed backdrops. These prevail particularly with the ‘sideshow’ who recycle scrap in to wonderful creations fresh from a fifties cartoon short. At one point Bazil sees a segment of an old cartoon where a character shoots another in the head. This depicts the correlation between the real world here and an animated fantasy-land with the epic and extremely clever revenge plan played out in much the same way that Sylvester chases Tweetie Pie or Wyle E.Coyote stalks Road Runner.

The films only fault is that sometimes is all almost too imaginative, barely allowing the mind to recollect what has happened before twenty or so other things occur, each steeped in a tranquil haze teasing the viewer’s eyes like a mirrored tunnel encompassing a silent disco. Wonderfully indulgent movie, a treat for the eyes, ears, nose and mind.

Some great moments, but tends to lose momentum
This typically quirky film from Jean-Pierre Jeunet involves a group of outcast oddballs who team up to take down to arms merchants. It is high in ingenuity but rather lower in audience connection.

Bazil, who lost his father in a landmine explosion and almost lost his life in a shooting, discovers the makers of the landmine and bullet are across the street from one another and persuades his friends to help him drive them out of business. This involves a series of wild exploits that play out like human Rube Goldberg machines.

The movie is at its best in an airport scene in which an intricate plan unfolds while Bazil, disguised as an airport worker, keeps accidentally guiding passengers around the airport. It’s funny and clever but it also turns out to be the highlight of the film.

There are other ingenious moments, but in between the movie tends to flag. The oddball cast has a certain overall charm but no character, including Bazil, is that relatable. If every scene were as good as the airport one that probably would be fine, but downtime always reminds you that you’re not that drawn into the characters.

There’s also a flaw with the film’s politics, which are rather half-baked. The movie is all about corrupt, underhanded arms dealing, but of course war is not fueled simply by greedy arms merchants but by governments and wannabe leaders who buy and use these weapons. To protest those that sell weapons while ignoring all the other components of war is hardly a protest. At most, it’s a complaint that people who sell grenades and landmines should obey the laws.

If you’re a fan of Jeunet you should take a look, but it’s certainly one of his lesser films.
