jeunet and caro have create a masterpiece . while certainly this film will not be everyone cup of tea and i can not recall anyone i know see it and not be delight . no other movie i have see so far could top this one for it combination of wittiness and dark humor and love for detail and collection of regular people hold a mirror up to each and everyone of u and show u how strange we really be . indeed this movie will not be constrain by a classification a romance and comedy or science fiction or horror . it be much more than the sum of these it be a work of art and the painstaking work and love for detail which jeunet and caro have put into it show everywhere you look . this movie be definitely off beat and i definitely love it .
