Classic film noir and silent comedy are the starting points for a flight of visual imagination that knows no bounds as AMELIE director Jean Pierre-Jeunet brings his inimitable brand of magical realism to a comic tale of revenge. Orphaned at a tender age when his father is killed by a landmine, video store clerk Bazil (Dany Boon) himself becomes the accidental victim of a shooting. Unexpectedly surviving the incident, Bazil is determined to bring down the multinational arms manufacturers who have caused him so much misery. With some help from his friends, a band of misfits with some very strange, but useful, talents, he embarks on an over-the top series of escapades each of which is more elaborate and entertaining than the last. It's all very satirical, very topical and very, very funny.
