Delicatessen

In a distant, apocalyptic future, conventional society has reached a state of collapse.
Grain is now used as currency and meat has become a rare commodity. Meanwhile
an unemployed clown finds work as a maintenance man in a squalid apartment block
situated above a butcher’s shop. Having fallen in love with the owner’s daughter he soon
discovers the sinister truth behind the ominous landlord’s unsavoury intentions. Between
blossoming romance and disappearing tenants his only hope for survival could be the
members of a subterranean militia of vegetarian freedom fighters. Or is it too late already?
With its iconic, surreal imagery, gallows humour and its cast of warped characters,
Delicatessen marked the breakthrough collaboration between celebrated directors
Marc Caro (Dante 01) and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, A Very Long Engagement,
Micmacs). Equal parts horror, comedy and dystopian fantasia, Delicatessen is still one of
the most original and influential films of its time.
