From the filmmaking team of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, a vision of a cannibalistic future in a rust-colored Paris. The futurity opens the door to plenty of oddities besides the cannibalism and the monochrome. In fact nothing that's not odd gets in. (A flooded cellar crawling with snails and hopping with frogs; a series of Rube Goldberg suicide schemes unsuccessfully enacted by a sexually tormented matron; and so on.) Clever without being particularly imaginative; fully realized without being fully involving; but vaguely impressive overall, and vividly impressive in several virtuoso set pieces. Dominique Pinon, Marie-Laure Dougnac, Jean-Claude Dreyfus. (1991) — Duncan Shepherd
