With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for spy-story fans and politics junkies. Nobody is quite who they seem. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 4 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1909: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A scientist has acquired a microscope and is showing it off to his friend. He takes various body samples - hair, phlegm, etc. - and puts them under the microscope. The "microbes" coalesce and form different shapes, creating caricatures of various people, such as mothers-in-law and drunks. These animated characters goof around in traditional cartoon fashion.
