Delicatessen

About this movie

From the director of "Amelie" (Jean-Pierre Jeunet) comes a post-apocalyptic comedy that's both bitingly hilarious and absolutely one-of-a- kind. When meat becomes so rare that it is used as currency, residents living above a delicatessen must depend on a menacingly strange butcher (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) for their supply. But when a new tenant (Dominique Pinon) arrives and takes a job as the building's handyman, he unknowingly steps into the butcher's trap...to serve him as the next meal!

Ratings and reviews

An fun, creative, and very French dark comedy film. [NOTE: Google Play offers neither a HD version, nor subtitles, nor a choice of alternate audio tracks. And no extras.]

of earlyish french comic noir. Still fresh, still disturbing. A must for serious film folk and a good laugh.

Everything that Jean-Pierre Jeunay does is classic.....from this to micmacs! the most entertaining way to spend a couple of hours staring at a screen!
