Delicatessen is a film French carried out by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, left on the screens in 1991.
Synopsis
A former clown is engaged as caretaker in a hotel. The district is populated of troglodytes, a benevolent butcher and a frog stockbreeder. On bottom of war and terrorism, the traveller will discover the love…
Delicatessen plunges the spectator in a strange, worrying and burlesque universe, near to the Cartoon. It puts in scene atypical characters, been useful by “mouths” of the French cinema (Jean-Claude Dreyfus, Dominique Pinon, Rufus, Ticky Holgado). Caro and Jeunet provide there the foundations of a dark and poetic universe which will be refined progressively of their catalog of films (the City of the lost children, Alien IV, Amélie Poulain).
