A true visual adventure.

Delicatessen (1991) directed by
Jean Pierre Jeunet et Marc Caro

It is indeed sad to learn that French cinema has not been able to amalgamate science fiction genre with melodramatic parables. Delicatessen resembles many a science fiction film but what distinguishes it from other films is its detached
narrative approach. Delicatessen is a minor masterpiece full of tense atmosphere.Jeunet and Caro conceived Delicatessen as they believed that sometimes human imagination takes unparalleled powers.It can be classified as an enigmatic journey to hell with a happy ending.The plot has a fairly small bearing on character development as Jeunet and Caro incorporate numerous oddball characters.Delicatessen is a visual feast for hungry eyes.As a mocking assault on all social values,Delicatessen remains a true visual adventure of unusual precision.
