Foutaises (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 1989, France)


Foutaises a.k.a. Things I Like, Things I Don't Like (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 1989, France)

Dominique Pinon talks to the camera describing his likes and dislikes, ranging from the simple such as "I hate men with a beard but no moustache" to the more touching, "I like to think that after death can't be worse than before birth." Each of his examples is accompanied by a visual demonstration.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet reused this technique in his 2001 flim Amélie when introducing the characters.
