Sony Pictures Classics imports Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s “Micmacs”

Sony Pictures Classics has grabbed the U.S. and Latin American rights to Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s “Micmacs,” which will debut at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival.
“Micmacs” is described as, “a fantastical comedy about a video store clerk with a bullet lodged in his brain. Knowing he could drop dead at any time, he bands together with an odd collection of outsiders – a mechanical genius, a con man and a contortionist among them – to devise a plan to take down the weapons manufacturer that made the bullet.”
