That's one reason why I wrote about it. The film absolutely deserves another look. Much respect to Jean-Pierre Jeunet & Guillaume Laurant for distilling a novel so overloaded with exposition into a beautiful movie. Thanks for commenting!

The only thing I really dislike is that it is sometimes hard to follow, but if you pay attention it is fairly rewarding. Actually...one other thing that bummed me out was that Pinon was given so little to do in his role. It's a shame to waste such a face. I love this movie.
