From the organizer:
DELICATESSEN (1991)
95′ / Dir – Marc Caro + Jean-Pierre Jeunet (who would later go on to make Amelie)
French, with English subtitles
“A post-apocalyptic future becomes the setting for pitch black humor in this visually intricate French comedy.
The action takes place within a single apartment complex owned by the same man that operates the downstairs butcher shop.
It’s a particularly popular place to live, thanks to the butcher’s uncanny ability to find excellent cuts of meat despite the horrible living conditions outside.
The newest building superintendent, a former circus clown, thinks he has found an ideal living situation.
All that changes, however, when he discovers the true source of the butcher’s meat, and that he may be the next main course.
With its molelike inhabitants, its sprawling war between flesh-eaters and lentil-men, its achingly sweet love story and surrealist blend of dusty antiquities and 21st-century gizmos, Delicatessen is indescribably wild.”
Free entry.
