The last film directed by Sylvain Chomet, the animated Jacques Tati adaptation The Illusionist, was pretty-much flawless. It’s hard to believe that the hand that crafted a work of such loving detail could toss off a clumsy piece of pointless whimsy like Attila Marcel. A mute pianist (Guillaume Gouix), raised by his two maiden aunts, takes hallucinogenic herbs to remember the parents he lost at the age of two. The Jean-Pierre Jeunet back catalogue is well and truly plundered: the tone veers between Amélie-cute and Micmacs-macabre. But an actual story is conspicuous by its absence.
