He bought his first camera at the age of 17 and made short films while studying animation at Cinémation Studios. He befriended Marc Caro, a designer and comic book artist who became his longtime collaborator and co-director. Together, Jeunet and Caro directed award-winning animations. Their first live action film was ''The Bunker of the Last Gunshots'' (1981), a short film about soldiers in a bleak futuristic world. Jeunet also directed numerous advertisements and music videos, such as Jean Michel Jarre's ''Zoolook'' (together with Caro). Jeunet and Caro's first feature film was ''Delicatessen'' (1991), a melancholy comedy set in a famine-plagued post-apocalyptic world, in which an apartment building above a delicatessen is ruled by a butcher who kills people in order to feed his tenants.〔(The New York Times )〕 They next made ''The City of Lost Children'' (1995), a dark, multi-layered fantasy film about a mad scientist who steals children's dreams so that he can live indefinitely.〔(The New York Times )〕 The success of ''The City of Lost Children'' led to an invitation to direct the fourth movie in the ''Alien'' series, ''Alien: Resurrection'' (1997).〔(The New York Times )〕 Jeunet directed ''Amélie'' (2001), starring Audrey Tautou.〔 ''Amélie'' continued the surrealist vibe of his earlier films, but was happier in tone and added romantic and comedic elements. This story, about a woman who takes pleasure in doing good deeds but has trouble finding love herself, was a huge critical and commercial success worldwide and was nominated for several Academy Awards. For this film, Jeunet also gained a European Film Award for Best Director. In 2004, Jeunet released ''A Very Long Engagement'', an adaptation of the novel by Sébastien Japrisot. The film, starring Audrey Tautou and Jodie Foster, chronicled a woman's search for her missing lover after World War I.〔(The New York Times )〕 In 2009, he released ''Micmacs''.〔 Jeunet has also directed numerous commercials including a 2'25" film for Chanel N° 5 featuring his frequent collaborator Audrey Tautou.
