Delicatessen
From Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro

IMDB

Quote :: The story is centered on a microcosm of a post-apocalyptic society where food is so rare it's invaluable and is used as currency. The story centers on an apartment building with a delicatessen on the ground floor. The owner of the eatery also owns the apartment building and he is in need of a new maintenance man since the original "mysteriously" disappeared. A former clown applies for the job and the butcher's intent is to have him work for a little while and then serve him to quirky tenants who pay the butcher in, of course, grain. The clown and butcher's daughter fall in love and she tries to foil her father's plans by contacting the "troglodytes", a grain eating sub-group of society who live entirely underground. The "trogs" are possibly the most sensible of the lot, as they see food as food and not money.

Another one that I adore Very Happy

I love Jeunet's movies but especially the ones he made with Marc Caro (this one and the city of the lost children)
Such an original and particular atmosphere, really one of the kind

Watch it yess

Delicatessen is indeed a great film...

Back in the days we used to do movie screenings in the Slaakhuys, this one was shown sometime and it made a really big impression Happy2
