Foutaises<\/em> (1989) is the French title of this 9-minute film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet whose English translation, Things I Like, Things I Don’t Like<\/em>, is a clumsy, if accurate, summation of the content. It’s mostly a string of sight gags with Jeunet regular Dominique Pinon running through a list of his likes and dislikes, some of which are very funny. I first saw this on a VHS release of Delicatessen<\/em>, a good pairing since the films were made almost back-to-back, and share actors. Foutaises<\/em> shows both the strengths and weaknesses of Jeunet’s style: many isolated moments of visual humour work well in a short dose but stretched over 90 minutes the same technique can easily become tiresome or annoying.<\/p>\n On YouTube there’s a choice of a low-res copy with English subtitles<\/a> or a better quality copy in French only<\/a>. Take your pick. According to the discussion at IMDB the film can currently be found as an extra on the French DVD of Am\u00e9lie<\/em>.<\/p>\n Previously on { feuilleton } Foutaises (1989) is the French title of this 9-minute film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet whose English translation, Things I Like, Things I Don’t Like, is a clumsy, if accurate, summation of the content.
