This dark comedy is an innovative and wonderfully enjoyable futuristic tale that took the world by surprise. From French directors Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, set in a starving, post-apocalyptic France, a slightly immoral butcher is supplying his customers with meat when all the other shops in town have run out of stock. Where does he source his mince?

Critics Reviews:

• “All at once nightmarish cannibal horror and romantic comedy, good-natured fairytale, and hyper-stylised allegory of French wartime collaboration and resistance, this collective debut from Marc Caro & Jean-Pierre Jeunet is dizzyingly difficult to pin down” – Anton Bitel (Little White Lies)

• “All of this is handled in a breezy, off-handed, nutsy manner, as the superb cast combines to help bring it off.” – Clifford Terry (Chicago Tribune)

• “Eventually, Delicatessen descends into raw grotesquerie and excess. But first, it serves as an ample experimental field and proving ground for a wild talent that’s thankfully become more disciplined with time.” – Tasha Robinson (AV Club)

• “A hugely enjoyable film, Delicatessen welds comedy and magic into a bizarre, grotesque fantasy of an oddball dystopian future.” – Matt Ford (BBC.com)
