Things I Like, Things I Don't Like

About This Movie

Things I Like, Things I Don't Like is a curious piece from Jeunet, showcasing Dominique Pinon's charm in a non-linear exploration of preferences. The film is filled with quirky visuals and has this whimsical tone that feels distinctly French. The pacing? It's like a stroll through a gallery – you linger on moments that resonate. There’s a certain surreal quality, enhanced by practical effects that ground the otherwise fanciful narrative. Pinon's performance is delightful, capturing the essence of both humor and introspection. What strikes me is how it sidesteps traditional storytelling to focus on small joys and irritations in life, making it feel both personal and universal. It’s definitely an odd little gem worth discussing among collectors.

Unique narrative structure that eschews traditional arcs. · Rich visual aesthetic typical of Jeunet's style. · Interesting use of practical effects versus CGI.
