6/10
Fun to watch and listen to

Warning: Spoilers
"Foutaises" is a French black-and-white film that runs for 7 minutes and was made over 25 years ago by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The actor in here is Dominique Pinon who I like a lot. Pinon and Jeunet reunited for "Delicatessen" shortly afterward and for "Amélie" a lot later. In this little film here, Pinon tells us random facts what he likes and what he doesn't like. And we see (not always) fitting images compared to what he tells us. The film is a bit controversial of course occasionally, for example with what we see on the wall where the girl is playing ball, but controversy is nothing new for Jeunet. All in all, I think this is a decent watch. Very French film in terms of style and atmosphere, so make sure you catch subtitles if you don't speak the language. I recommend it. Final snippet of information: Jeunet's co-writer here is Bruno Delbonnel, one of the most talented cinematographers currently working.
