Delicatessen (1991)

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" Gentle clown Louison moves into an apartment building with a deli on the ground floor and falls for the butcher's daughter, Julie (Marie-Laure Dougnac). It's soon discovered that Julie's father is actually butchering people ( a la Sweeney Todd) and selling the meat to tenants. At a crossroads, Julie must decide whether to remain loyal to her father or expose him to save Louison from becoming the next entree. The film was a critical success, and has a cult following."

The future kind of sucks. (432 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: Food is in very limited supply, and is used by people as cash. And people are being killed, are used as cheap meat substitute by products, by a butcher. Year it takes place: Unknown post apocalyptic French year."

" Notes: I’m not sure if this movie has a big reputation abroad but, in France, it is definitely considered as a massive cult-classic. Back in those days, there was no ‘Jean-Pierre Jeunet’ but only ‘Caro & Jeunet’, at least, that’s how they were known in France at the time.

" Date: 1/21/2020 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-Watch Note: I haven't seen this movie since I was in High School back in 2007 and I still love this movie.
