Delicatessen (R) 7.5

Delicatessen (1991): Post-apocalyptic surrealist black comedy about the landlord of an apartment building who occasional prepares a delicacy for his odd tenants. (7.8)

Directors: Marc Caro, Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Writers: Jean-Pierre Jeunet (screenplay), Marc Caro (screenplay)
Stars: Marie-Laure Dougnac, Dominique Pinon and Pascal Benezech
Language: French (w/ English subtitles)

The odd situation brings out the silliness and the weirdness of the whole thing. You must see it to understand (and "understand" is a relative term here). It is so surreal, sometimes you think this is supposed to be a cartoon. Yeah, I got the feeling that I've missed some wit because of the translation. My Rating: 7.5
