If we take the idea of a romantic comedy set in the ruins of a dead society and dressed up with cannibal horror seriously at all, it's hard to see how it could turn out better than this.

Bizarre, brilliant, but wayward in its dénouement.

Delicatessen is a fearsomely intense movie that mixes moods with formidable assurance.

A must see, Delicatessen is an absolute delight and a bizarrely madcap experience.

There are no characters to care about or remember afterward -- just a lot of flashy technique involving decor, some glib allegorical flourishes, and the obligatory studied film-school weirdness.

All of this is handled in a breezy, off-handed, nutsy manner, as the superb cast combines to help bring it off.

A zany little film that's a startling and clever debut for co-helmers Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro.
June 05, 2007
With their detached, sardonic and decidedly sick slant, Jeunet and Caro have served up a burnt-to-a-crisp feast.

The movie, take it from me, is a lot more fun to sit through than to describe in a single sentence.

What will filmmakers Jeunet and Caro serve for dessert in their next movie? Something equally daring, one hopes -- but more thoroughly cooked and a bit easier to swallow.
November 21, 2013
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.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro made a brilliant feature film debut with this bizarre and visually stunning comedy about cannibalism.
