    A French circus gone bonkers. Surreal love story.

    Brilliant film – it's got all the delicate charm that Jeunet injects into his work mixed with a macabre undercurrent that keeps it fresh. A well-crafted black comedy, and a modern classic in my view; but it's definitely not for everyone.

    Quirky French comedy/thriller (if you can call it that) with some great characters & all round weirdness. The film is almost shot entirely with a sepia tint which ads to the claustrophobia of it all. Also a mention for the brilliant music by Carlos D'Alessio.

    One of the worst movies I have EVER seen - from stale acting, far-fetched plot lines and poor dialogue, it's a disaster from start to end. I don't know how I reached the end of the movie, possibly it was from sheer curiosity to see if the whole thing could really be that bad. But, on a different note, it perhaps may be considered a good watch for entertainment value?

    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.

    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.

    Delicatessen seems overstuffed at times, unable to digest its own surfeit of jokes, tricks, and surprises.
