Delicatessen

 
Delicatessen, a french movie.It is a visually intricate french comedy.The story is centered on a microcosm of a post-apocalyptic society where food is so rare it's invaluable and is used as currency At a time when food is scarce and cannibalism rampant.  The story focus on an apartment building with a delicatessen on the ground floor. The owner of the eatery also owns the apartment building and he is in need of a new maintenance man since the original "mysteriously" disappeared.An ex-clown turns up seeking work at an ancient tenament in the middle of nowhere. Little does he know that the landlord, a butcher, feeds his tenants, The clown and the butcher's daughter  falll in love . The butcher's daughter tries to convince her father , but her father refuses. Desperate to save her lover, the butcher's daughter seeks help from the Troglodytes, an underground  vegetarian group that tries to rescue people from cannibals.... 







 It is difficult to digest all the content when watching it.I have put a lot of effort trying to understand the movie.The only thing of the whole movie that I interested and catch my attention is the saw song. The very first time that i know a saw can become an instrument. It is quite interesting!




The saw and cello!!


The character that I like in the movie, Delicatesen is Aurore.She is always trying to commit suicide in neat and inventive ways.


Aurore's suicide attempt!!


 I would recommend the film to those that enjoy black humor that is truly warped. Sensitive, easily offended people should avoid the film as you probably won't enjoy its humor.
