While “Big Bug” is characteristically eccentric, it also has the most mainstream appeal of any Jean-Pierre Jeunet film since “Amelie.”
The strangeness of Jeunet that film buffs once had to seek out at arthouse cinemas feels right at home on the streaming platform. Viewers have been devouring warped foreign takes on social ills and technology lately, like the Korean mega-hit series “Squid Game.” Here’s another.
The crazy characters are Alice , a single mother, and her bored son Léo ; her ex-husband Victor and his whiny young girlfriend Jennifer ; older neighbor Françoise , who is in love with her sex robot Greg ; a director who is trying to get in bed with Alice, and his politically active daughter Nina .
There are some clever futuristic touches, such as a device that makes a room smell however you want or a human-looking android whose mouth amusingly functions as a dust vacuum. Françoise’s shtick with Greg is a hoot until it becomes haunting, when we realize that our demented society probably is moving in the direction of loving relationships with sex robots.“Big Bug” doesn’t have the epic swoosh of some of Jeunet’s previous films.
