Things I Like, Things I Don't Like

1990 · 8 min Comedy
7.1 / 10 · TMDB

A middle-aged man, trapped in routine, begins cataloging his likes and dislikes, weaving a tapestry of mundane absurdities. His voiceover, dripping with irony and self-reflection, transforms trivial observations into a philosophical inquiry into human quirks. From the smell of gasoline to a hatred for people who whisper in cinemas, his list paints a portrait of a solitary soul seeking meaning in minutiae. The camera trails him through Paris as his narration stitches disparate scenes into a coherent fabric of existential comedy, finding humor in the contradictions of modern life.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A brilliant vignette where Jean-Pierre Jeunet's directorial debut already showcases his signature blend of magical realism tinged with cynical tenderness. The film argues that poetry hides not in grand gestures, but in being honest with one's own contradictions.

What lingers after the credits is the urge to start your own list of likes and dislikes, discovering in the exercise a therapeutic act of self-definition. It’s a short, potent reminder that we are what we love—and what we refuse to tolerate — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Dry Parisian light, an ironic voiceover, a sense of gentle detachment from the world.
