“You know, each time I tell the same story. It’s little guys against the monster, the ogre — or David against Goliath,” says Jean-Pierre Jeunet of his new film “Micmacs,” a comedy about a video store clerk (Dany Boon) who seeks revenge on two major weapons manufacturers with help from a group of quirkily talented friends, including a human cannonball and a contortionist.

The “Amelie” director sat down with his star to tell us about his new film and what inspires him. “Micmacs” will be released by Sony Pictures Classics.
