when i be about to watch this film and i do not really know what to expect from it . i do not really know what it be all about and and i wasn not familiar with french avant garde movie or the work of marc caro and jean pierre jeunet . but it be an instant delight . it not at all gruesome even if the plot be about cannibalism and and it so comprehensible . it such a good movie that i do not know how to explain why . it so funny and well direct and lovable and whatever . it just a real delightful movie . and i love the 2 lead and julie and louison and especially when they play music together . speaking of music and i even remember just how good the score be and too .
