Sorry Wes Anderson pastel tones are OUT and vomit hues are in, I don’t want to watch anything unless it gives me the aesthetic of food poisoning and that is that.

kaileyFeb 3, 2020An underground movement of vegetarians attempting to liberate an unemployed circus clown is just one of the elements in this surrealist black comedy set in a world following a cataclysmic event. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie) it principally involves the owner of an…

i was begging for a musical number but then they did the good ol’ bed-squeaking, paint-rolling, rug-beating, cello-playing, tire-pumping, metronome-ticking, pen-tapping, hole-pinching,needle-knitting breakdown and i was like... yeah, this works
kyleJun 4, 2025The lovely story of a father and daughter craving the same guy’s meat.
Sam🦧Apr 29, 2020Felt like a series of aesthetically-similar short films tied together by a central metaphor that doesn’t work for me, and with a very 1991 attitude about how women belong in film that made me roll my eyes every few scenes. Also, not at all “gross” or “crazy” like so many…

an incredibly wild, and french plot. every shot is so well perfectly framed and aesthetically pleasing!
Alex likedDelicatessenPart Gilliam, part Lynch. The camera angles and cinematography are expertly crafted. Not something I’d watch again anytime soon, but this feels like it was quite an achievement for the time. 7.5/10
Julieta Laxalt is "meh" onDelicatessenEs una buena película pero no es Lara nada mi estilo. Me ha incomodado bastante la estética y la temática de la película, me ha parecido desagradable, pero entiendo que ese es el objetivo de esta.

I can’t believe I’d never heard of this movie. What an incredibly well-conceived and executed work of art. An experience such as the one I had watching this is the reason I love cinema so much.
Jacob Hall lovedDelicatessengreat camerawork and writing. also the use of sound is so unique. i love the random synchronization of random sounds throughout the building. an artistic film lovers dream
Bowen lovedDelicatessenThis movie is amazing. The dark humor in this film works and the actual story is very interesting.
- Johnny Blackchurch lovedDelicatessen
Visually amazing, surreal, funny, horrible. Not a background movie - one to watch with attention.
Louis Bahouth lovedDelicatessenVisually stunning. I think I just watched the horror version of Amelie
Leonard Zelig lovedDelicatessenMy first Jeunet & Caro experience was simply a-ma-zing!

Metacritic
Set in some sort of post-apocalyptic Parisian deli o' the damned, this lunatic's take on the future of man is so delightfully warped that it's impossible to shake it out of your head and go get a decent night's sleep.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
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.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
Delicatessen seems overstuffed at times, unable to digest its own surfeit of jokes, tricks, and surprises.
