Cherwell is offering a unique opportunity to win 12 pairs of tickets for MICMACS THIS SUNDAY (21st), a film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet the director of Amelie and Delicatessen.
As Sandra Hebron, the critic The Times British Film Institute Festival describes,
“Is it better to live with a bullet lodged in your brain, even if it means you might drop dead at any time? Or would you rather have the bullet taken out and live the rest of your life as a vegetable? Are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes? Is scrap metal worth more than landmines? Can you get drunk by eating waffles? Can a woman fit inside a refrigerator? What’s the human cannonball record? All these questions and more are answered in MICMACS, the latest dazzlingly cinematic outing from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, a satire on the arms trade which grounds this director’s cinema of fantasy firmly in reality. Dany Boon leads a terrific cast including André Dussolier, Dominique Pinon and the matchless Yolande Moreau in a thrilling comedy about one man’s plan to destroy two big weapons manufacturers, with a little help from his friends. Few directors are more imaginative and inventive at creating their own distinctive on-screen worlds (Delicatessen, Amélie), and the aesthetic sensibility at play in MICMACS is breathtaking. Better yet, it works in tandem with pacy, edge-of-the-seat storytelling and no end of visual gags and witty wordplay.”
The screening will take place in Oxford Phoenix on Sunday 21st February at 11am. Please e-mail [email protected] as soon as possible to receive the tickets.
