The originality in the script with finest camera-work and a handful of funny characters does the trick. A dark comedy by Jean-Pierre Jeunet created upon a post-apocalyptic time (at times when food grains are used as currencies). Since the movie is dark natured with lot of weird scenes in surreal situations, the viewer must consider it only as a parody of human-life and not seriously. To mention some : 1) bed-springs sound for a symphony 2) soporific tea scene 4) Cow noise toys and a house full of mad people The plot gets too predictable and even though the story is original it is still hollow/weak.
The bottom line : it is a food/recipe which I'd like to taste again and again (would watch the movie again) but may not be the same for all.
