Jean-Pierre Jeunet invites us into his world once again! After Amelie, Delikatessen and City of lost children another adventure filled with fantasy elements, mindwrecking inventions, colorful storybook compositions and heartwarming characters!
For me, personally, the movie wasn't his greatest creation, but still, all of his films are VERY high level.
Aesthetically the film blows the mind: dynamic frames, his well-known color scheme (yellow vs blue, green vs red,...), vintage circus elements, steampunk and the vibe of a big adventure we all dreamed (not only as kids!) to have! The story is sweet, humorous, heart-warming and a homage to the beauty of life!
Jeunet stays true to his tone, tells the story in a very delightful, dynamic pace, adapts modern technology well (the sharpness of the images is just SPLENDID) and delights the viewer with ease.
It was very, very beautiful! (Just not that mind-blowing this time for me personally, that's why I'll end it with a 7/10). Thank you, Jeunet, for that ode to life and never-growing-up. It was a pleasure!
