Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 15, 2026 This movie preceded the much more famous Amelie, but in my opinion, Delicatessen is the better picture. A macabre, post-apocalyptic fable, it is visually stunning, very funny, and rather sexy. What's it about? A former circus performer takes up lodging above a butcher's shop, in exchange for doing odd jobs around the property. Little does he know, the butcher supplies his customers with more than just animal meat. Luckily, the butcher's daughter takes a liking to the new inmate and resolves to save him, by having him kidnapped. Who kidnaps him? Militant vegetarians. Unlike Amelie, Delicatessen does not rely on a narrator, and despite its wacky situation, it makes a good deal more sense than all that nonsense in Amelie re. the heart condition or the photo album. Don't get me wrong, I loved Amelie, at first, but Delicatessen has more theatricality, more bravery, and plenty of whimsy. Make sure you drop in. See more

Robert P @Superbad Sep 9, 2026 Delicatessen is by the same people who did Amelia thus my 4.5 star rating! See more

Jack F @MovieFan111 Sep 3, 2026 It was kind of confusing, and I lost sight of it toward the end. You can tell it's a French film. They all have that certain vibe. It was funny at times I guess. You can also tell its really well made. See more

Oaklee D @ODie63 Aug 27, 2026 A oddly macabre, dystopian little world that has built which is also captivating and keeps you glued to the screen this little French film is one of a kind and I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. Definitely recommend. See more

Thomas S @RT53929595 Sep 25, 2025 Delicatessen propose un univers singulier et dystopique, à la fois immersif et soigneusement mis en scène. La réalisation crée une atmosphère visuelle forte, qui happe le spectateur dans un monde à part. Le film m’a rappelé Le Rapport de Brodeck, notamment dans sa manière d’évoquer l’hystérie collective et de laisser percevoir, en arrière-plan, le poids de la guerre. See more

michael w @RT07629897 May 27, 2025 Besides that the movie is fantastically quirky as a whole, there are several scenes which are perfectly crafted while one really stands out: moooo -beeeaaa :-) See more
