karohemdWow!
If you see one movie this year, make it this one.
Utterly beautiful, wonderous, witty, hilarious, strange, weird, screwed in the head, brilliant, awe-inspiring, erm, I'm running out of adjectives but I think you get the picture.
It's classic French cinema but with the twist we've known to love in Delicatessen (for darkness and f*cked-in-the-head-ness) and City of Lost Children (for OTT dreamworld/strangeness/weird science).
Dominique Pinon (the guy with the squashed face and the dictaphone, was also in D and CoLC) played a normal character for a change (relatively speaking).
I don't want to give away much, it's pretty indescribable anyway, but I think the bits I liked best were the introduction of the characters by the narrator (likes+dislikes), the garden gnome, and the pour vegetable stall owner...
All I can say is !Do go and see it!!
