Whoa, I just found out that Jeneut did Alien: Resurrection a few years before Ameile.

That's weird.

The folks at IGN have a sit-down with Jeunet about his new film:

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/569/569657p1.html
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

I enjoyed it.

I thought the book had more of an emotional impact, but the film has some really fantastic visuals and great performances.

*sigh.  saw this tonite, wanted to love it, didnt know much about it other than the trailer and who was involved making it.  it was good, i dunno. basically, my problem was that i was only occasionally involved.  it was probably the structure of the movie revolving around flashbacks and such heavy storytelling that i wasnt able to be totally connected to either the past or the present.  there were fantastic sequences, but like i said i kept getting into it, and getting out of it.  it didnt keep me involved and maybe that was more my fault than the films because some people (like my girlfriend) seemed to love it.  the thing that i cant figure out is whether movies are really getting less good or my tastes are getting more discriminating?  because this sucks.  anyways i liked a lot of it.

I finally saw this and enjoyed it, but not as much as I enjoyed Amelie.  In part, I agree with Samsong's statements but not with as much conviction.  It's a beautiful to look at but the emotion does get lost in the twists.  At the end of the film, I could tell I was supposed to feel something more than I did.  Also, some of the farfetched aspects of Amelie that worked for that film took me out of the story here (a la the Zeppelin scene).  I'm glad I saw it but I don't really have any interest in seeing it again.
