While sometimes I wish that Jean-Pierre Jeunet made more films, on the other hand, if the guy needs five or so years between each movie to make such quality films, than leniency is granted. Save Alien: Resurrection (sorry, Andrew), Jeunet hasn’t made anything but great films, with The City of Lost Children being one of my absolute favorites.

The trailer for his newest, Micmacs A Tire-Larigot, has made its way to the internet, along with a fantastically quirky synopsis.

Is it better to live with a bullet lodged in your brain, even if it means you might drop dead any time? Or would you rather have the bullet taken out and live the rest of your life as a vegetable? Are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes? Is scrap metal worth more than landmines? Can you get drunk from eating waffles? Can a woman fit inside a refrigerator? What’s the human cannonball world record? Find out answers to these questions and more. A comedy in the vein of Delicatessen and Amélie.

Watch the trailer below, courtesy of Twitch. While it has the Jeunet trademark sickeningly gorgeous visuals, it also looks to bring back some of the oddness that Jeunet’s films lost after the departure of his old directing partner Marc Caro.

Trailer is tucked under the seat. Enjoy!
