Caro and Jeunet?s Delicatessen (1991)

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great entertainment! A movie experience you won't want to miss, if you haven't seen it yet!
Review: This is another of those films I have been waiting to see, for a long long time. This one, if anything, was even more fun than I expected. It is a dark comedy, done with great artistry. For me, that is its major appeal. It is fresh, original, and...

Bon Appetite!

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for those with a taste for human flesh! Or, for absurdist, surreal, farcical horror.
Review: Delicatessan, a pleasingly over-the-top, absurdist visual extravaganza, was a collaboration between directors Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro and a first feature for both. Jeunet went on to make such films as The City of Lost Children (1995) and...

Delicatessen: A nightmarish French comedy.

Date of Review:  Feb 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: This exceedingly bizarre French black comedy is technically and artistically superb, but the cannibalistic subject matter and relentlessly dark atmosphere may put off some people
Review: How dark is Delicatessen?

It's so dark that it gives Nietzsche nightmares (and he's dead!)

It's so dark that it creates localized blackouts for the duration of the movie.

It's so damn *dark* that watching it regularly...

Hold the Fromage, s'il vous plait

Date of Review:  May 30, 2000
Review: If you're a European film buff like me, and you're not completely exhausted by last year's onslaught of apocalyptic end-of-existence sci fi offerings, then rent Delicatessen - an absurdist French film available (suprisingly) at your local...

Another French Surrealistic Masterpiece

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: A masterpiece. Anyone who loves film really should check this one out. Absolutely brilliant filmmaking. This is how great film can be.
Review: From the directing team behind the excellent film CITY OF LOST CHILDREN comes DELICATESSEN, another outstanding piece of French cinema that puts most American features to shame. If you're looking for a bizarre film that will surely appease your...

DERANGED Fun!

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: A good European film that mixes strong character development with an entertaining story, but with a twist of black comedy.
Review: A movie like Delicatessen for it's proverbially twisted subject material would never be funded by a major studio unless it had a major director or actor attached to it. Seriously, who would want to see a fantasy fable about cannibalism and murder? I...

A real French delicacy.

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: A bleak and charming fairytale.
Review: With an overcast and smoggy yellow backdrop, in the realms of an empty and desolate vision of a world, stands an old and decrepit building: The Bricks are crumbling into the gutters, the rain is seeping through the floorboards, the tobacco stained...

For Here or to Go?

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 1999
Review: Unfortunately many men think the term "subtitles" is translated from a four-letter word. As a result they are missing out on one of the most ingenious science fiction movies ever produced.

Originally I had seen The City of Lost Children in...

Laughter in the Ruins

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2000
Review: First of all, I may be wrong here....but wasn't Caro Marc the same feller who did "City of Lost Children"? It has been many years since I saw that movie.... but the post-Apocalyptic beauty of both stories and the lushly-produced worlds created by...
