Jean-Pierre Jeunet is one of my favorite directors, even though his filmography is rather small.
Here are the Man's films, ranked and rated:
1. Amelie (****/****)
2. The City of Lost Children (****/****)
3. Delicatessen (***1/2/****)
4. Alien: Resurrection (**1/2/****)
Jeunet's movies have a certain visual pizazz that I haven't found replicated anywhere else. Take any shot of his and you have yourself a work of art.
His stories are perfect companions to his visuals, almost as bizarre as the man himself--from the tale of a post-apocalyptic apartment building with viciously cannibalistic tenants, to the character study of a woman who never really grew out of her five-year-old mannerisms, but is determined to find her place.
Additionally, I've been impressed by Jeunet's use of Dominique Pinon, who's appeared in all of his films (except for Resurrection). He has incredible versatility.
But, I digress.
What do you think of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and his filmography? If you haven't seen any of these, get out and rent them! 1-3 are must-sees, while 4 is a guilty pleasure of mine. (Incidentally, it is the only Alien film I've seen! :eek
