If anyone likes Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicates, Amelie, Long Engagement), then I highly recommend watching this film, which for some reason at the box office was called “Losers”, although even without knowing French, we can assume that Micmacs à tire-larigot should be translated differently. Basil’s father blew himself up, defusing an anti-personnel mine, he himself got a stray bullet in the head when he leaned out on time into the street from the shop where he worked. He went to the hospital, the bullet was not taken out, he was left without a job, without housing and without things that his “hearty” neighbors had stolen from the basement where they were taken. He found himself on the street, where he tried to make money by imitation, until he was picked up by a former thug Kichman and taken to his home, where he lived almost a family with completely original personalities who restored junk and sold on the cheap. Accidentally driving past corporations, he suddenly decided that he had to take revenge on them. And that's where it all started. The film most of all resembles a circus performance, where everything is worked out, even the skills of actors of this kind are involved. In the end, our gang gets their way. They play great, starting with Dani Boone playing Basil, and ending with Michel Cremades playing Little Pierre making wonderful mechanical dolls from all sorts of junk. You can talk about each character separately, but it is better to see. However, I will say right away that the film is not for a wide audience.
