Louison: This is a job for the Australian!
A dark French comedy set in a dilapidated apartment building in a post-apocalyptic time period, featuring a number of quirky characters.
The story involves the landlord of the building who is also a butcher. Due to the lack of food, he has gone through desperate measures to maintain power over his tenants by murdering people and making them into food for the tenants with currency for trade.
The latest victim will be an unemployed clown, played by Dominique Pinon, who comes to work as a handyman, not knowing of course the situation he has put himself in. During this time he meets the various tenants of the apartment.
The movie revolves around the various characters in the apartment, some other figures emerging over time, and what is to come of the food situation.
The film was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who specializes in making a movies steeped in stylized art direction and production design, which fits with the various idiosyncrasies of the characters. Here the film has a distinctive tone fitting with its story and combined with wide angles and obscure camera movements it all works.
The story is a bit thin compared to Jeunet's others like Amelie or City of Lost Children, but the familiar elements of those films are still here and make it enjoyable nonetheless.
Louison: Nobody is entirely evil: it's that circumstances that make them evil, or they don't know they are doing evil. -
MCT:September 16, 2008An enjoyable movie, but it didn't convince me completely. Although the story in itself is outrageous, it missed a certain edge.
But still, the setting was great and the characters colorful.

MCT:February 22, 2008What else to expect from this dream team-up than a masterpiece? Delicatessen is a fabuously toned film, the best sequence being the "sounds" montage. Just great. Have to see it if you have any interest in scifi, dystopian films, Jeunet's work, or solid films in general.

Darker than City of Lost Children but just as playful as Amelie and funny. The suicidal tenant reminded me of how much I loved Final Destination ;)

MCT:January 4, 2009Amazing visuals, amazing score, sound effects, story line. The subtle to severe insanity of each person was so well played. The madness surrounding Julie and Louison continued to rise through the movie until the butcher as well as the others could no longer contain themselves-a beautiful implosion.
