I am just stupid when it comes to Jeunet & Caro's collaborative films: Delicatessen and City of Lost Children are two of my all-time faves (plus the insane runt of their cinema litter, Le Bunker de la Dernière Rafale). I am less impressed with the quirky/tear-jerky stuff that Jeunet has done solo, namely Amelie and A Very Long Engagement. Still... here is an entire Jeunet short from 1989 unavailable elsewhere: Foutaises, with a pile of familiar Delicatessen guys. (click on the Foutaises picture. See? Diagonally!)

(Plus, it looks to me that the kid from Spaceship is the little guy from City of Lost Children? No?)


So... what has Caro been doing meanwhile?
Here is some idea of what Caro solo looks like... Boxing, a short CG film featuring none other than Dominique Pinon himself, finally attaining his true self as a bendy toy!!
