255 of 1001 Movies: Delicatessen (1991)

I didn't know the details of Delicatessen when I decided to get it. I was only looking for something short on time. You can imagine my confusion and reluctance when I discovered this is a movie about cannibalism. My nightmare the night before didn't make me a happy viewer either. The truth is this was a nice surprise. If you're a fan of movies like Amelie, which has this whimsy atmosphere then you'll like the artistic direction in this one. Marco Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet both teamed up to direct this creative movie.

Summary: It's a post-apocalyptic world, and food is very much apart of how you live. Grain is currency, and meat is expensive, so Clapet a landlord and butcher has discovered a cheap way to get meat. Louison arrives as a new tenant in the apartment that Clapet also maintains order in. It's unknown what happened to the last tenant that Louison is now taking over for, but Julie, Clapet's daughter is aware that he is in danger. As she falls in love with him she feels that she must go further to rescue him from her father and the delicacy he prepares for other guests.
