First it was a mine that exploded in the middle of the Moroccan desert. Years later, it was a stray bullet that lodged in his brain... Bazil doesn’t have much luck with weapons. The first made an orphan, the second holds him on the brink of sudden and instant death.
Released from hospital, Bazil is homeless. Luckily, our inspired and gentle-natured dreamer is adopted by a motley crew of second-hand dealers living in a veritable Ali Baba’s cave, whose talents and aspirations are as surprising as they are diverse: Remington, Calculator, Buster, Slammer, Elastic Girl, Tiny Pete and Mama Chow.
One day, walking by two huge buildings, Bazil recognizes the logos of the weapons manufacturers that caused his hardship. With the help of his faithful gang of wacky friends he sets out to take revenge. Underdogs battling heartless industrial giants, our gang relives the battle of David and goliath, with all the imagination and fantasy of Buster Keaton.

Very good
Very good.
As always, Jeunet made a very good movie.
Original and delightful. The actors and the scenario are good.
Is it possible to beat Hollywood at its own game – or even to play on the same field? That’s the 60 million Euro question for French filmmakers, as it is for the Brits, the Germans, and anyone else with a viable industry stuck in the Americans’ cultural choke-hold. Hollywood established its European market on the back of the Great War, when the competition was at its most vulnerable. With the deepest pockets in the business, the major studios coaxed many of the hottest... Read more
