MCT:June 30, 2008What a crazy, off-the-wall, bizarre, hilarious, illogical, irrational, delight of a motion picture this was. Having previously seen Amelie and City of Lost Children, I had a good idea what to expect from Delicatatessen, Jeunet and Caro's first film. I thought it was going to be an extremely disturbing movie seeing as though it's about a serial killing deli owner, but I found it oddly charming. As are most of their films. Sure, a lot of the film doesn't make a whole lot of sense but there's a certain burst of energy, fun and originality the movie has that can't be beat by many other filmmakers. Also, some sequences are pretty damn hilarious. The acting is solid as are with most Jeunet and Caro's films, the scene-stealer being of course Dominique Pinon who you may remember as the clones in City of Lost Children. Pinon brings real humanity to his character, and is always fun to watch. The actor who plays the deli owner is really good as is the actress who plays the deli owner's daughter. The film's cinematography is eye-opening as well. My only complaint is the film is very hard to follow at points. Grade: B

Finally got around to seeing the well-known and lauded Delicatessen. Certainly one of those films that is so visually stimulating that you'd be hard-pressed to forget it. Like a storybook or graphic novel come to life, this predates Sin City by over 10 years, but it certainly feels like it would influence films of that ilk and the filmmakers who would seek to immerse you in that sort of otherworldly environment. I was sold on the post-apocalyptic world immediately and I enjoyed the calculated subtlety at which the plot was revealed, however in the end, this film does not make my top anything list. It doesn't carry the same weight or appeal of Amelie and City of Lost Children (films directed by one of each of this French directing duo). Enjoyable and in a class all its own, but ultimately, I was underwhelmed and sometimes irritated by the whimsy that seemed to take precedence over the more serious (and interesting) undertones.

MCT:June 24, 2008I was really impressed with this movie from the beginning opening credits to the heroes playing music on the roof. Its a quirky and fun riot!

Very bizzare dark comedy/romance. I was expecting more of a horror movie as I did little research before viewing. Pretty funny & very strange.

It's not quite Amelie, but its interresting, clever and funny at times too. Many movies in its wake owe a lot to it.
