Have you ever stopped to wonder if there was a comedy about cannibalism out there, waiting to be enjoyed? Probably not, but if you have, I am here with good news. Delicatessen (1991) is a French film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie, 2001) and Marc Caro (The City of Lost Children, 1995). It takes place in the future, in a post-apocalyptic France (although there's a certain timelessness about it), focusing on a single apartment owned by The Butcher.

This film has romance, it has action and suspense, and it will surely make you laugh out loud. Story aside, the cinematography and audio are incredibly clever.

It is a crazy and even ridiculous story at times, but always intriguing. I highly recommend this movie (rated R). I wouldn’t consider it true horror, but still suggest not watching it right before bed or while you eat.
