It opened at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, and was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, who also directed the similarly dark Delicatessen. |

Bad Santa: When he invades the children's dreams, Krank often (unintentionally) appears this way. |

Big Brother Instinct: One has this, first for Denrée and then for Miette. He identifies Denrée as his brother, but there's no genetic link between them. He found the kid in a garbage can. |

Anti-Villain: Krank suffers everything his victims do in his failed experiments, is totally incapable of understanding why even his kindest acts only frighten the children, is shown to be deeply affected by Uncle Irvin's insults, and is the way he is because something went wrong in his creation. Even at his worst, his condition is so pitiable, it's heartbreaking. |
