First of all, I decided to become a Director and not a DOP thanks to JP Jeunet after watching delicatessen. Then I became a fan of him, recognizing instantly any camera movement and cinematography without even knowing it was him.
Amelie came out and I thought, he made it, this is his master-piece, and it was. Micmacs, became an extreme disappointment. Jeunet trying hard to cash on Amelie and adding cameos, set designs, camera movements and cinematography from all his previous movies, not bringing anything new to the hardcore fans.
I think this film is not a challenge for JPJ. He MUST get out of his comfort zone and challenge him self with another genre, cinematography and actors.
JPJ, please do not ruin Delicatessen and Amelie. Leave those movies alone and do something completely different.
