Bazil, whose father was killed by a landmine, has a bullet permanently lodged in his head. He joins a group of quirky misfits, who plot an elaborate revenge on two rivalling arms manufacturers. This breezy and delightfully whimsical French comedy delivers an endless string of visual and physical gags. The script may not be Jean-Pierre Jeunet's strong point, but he is an incredibly inventive visual storyteller, like Amélie already proved.
