Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.
Click this first
A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.
If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie
The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
In a post-apocalyptic French town, the barter system is in vogue. Those who have nothing left to barter, pay in flesh. The surface humans dine on the troglodytes, a rebel bunch of underground dwellers who live among the sewers like rats and are titillated by delicacies like corn. But the troglodytes have become slippery and are hard to come by. For the tenants of an apartment building, their landlord, a butcher is the big daddy who lures unsuspecting folk to the apartment where he eyes their flesh-potential and butchers them when they reach their optimum mass.
Delicatessen is a bizarre comedy featuring some of the most inventive and hilarious ways to kill yourself. Squeaky bed springs have also never been the source of such intense musical hilarity. The cannibalism is merely referenced and so there is no gore, if that’s what you were looking for. If you enjoy the bizarre, this is one of the top guns.
Pure insanity for an hour and forty minutes. This is about as bizarre as you can get. I loved it. 5 stars.
My mentor recommended this film to understand the dystopian post apocalyptic setting and integration of sound design to scenes. I braced myself for a lot of gore, but to my surprise there was hardly any. Had the undercurrents of 1984, absolutely loved it nonetheless.
This is my favourite movie of all time and I’ve been looking for it to watch again for years now, so thank you for that. Brilliant dark comedy, excellent writing, atmospheric setting and all round genius. Every scene is spot on, particularly famous for the bed springs and Aurora’s “suicide attempts”. Could watch over again, and look forward to having the time.
This was actually a REALLY good movie haha I liked it a lot
Self-indulgent nonsense.
Decent 5
feels like an exaggeration that some of y’all call this a hard to get or follow movie. Anyway, what I wanted to actually comment on is that it’s my first time on thr website and I found it beautiful that nearly every comment gets a downvote here lol
I remember watching this with my parents. Still as good as i remembered it to be
This film, and films like Brazil, Inland Empire, Eraserhead, Europa, and City Of Lost Children are really fine examples of surrealism at its most brilliant, darkly comic, horrifying and imaginative.
One of my all time favorites!
Girl with the cello was sexy . . . So beautiful with her big blue eyes . . . Imagine ejaculating in such a woman.
first watched this movie when i was around 9 years old. definitely fucked up my developing brain a bit but i love it so idc
Drôle de film… mais j’ai bien aimé !
Il me rappelle, dans un sens, “La Carne” de Gaspard Noé ou encore “Les triplettes de Bellville”. le gore n’est pas vraiment pas présent, maaiissss le jeu des acteurs et l’ambience du film le remplace.
J’aime vraiment ce genre de film, trop intriguant !! :^D
It’s the same feeling I get from watching The Suicide Shop (and someone had already mentioned The City of Lost Children).
What kind of stupid-ass edgelord sits through 01:39:18 of unadulterated balderdash and acts like he gets it.
so i watched this film its weird it has no plot i would stick to jodorowskys movies personally!
Weirdest thing I’ve watched in quite a while.
Never liked Jeunet’s style.
Lovely!
really sweet love story. solid 7/10 family friendly – no tiddie
Wow that was something else forsure.The idea is really cool but the bad guy was a magooo and well magoos are magoos and honestly the starting credits show so much and made me to expect more but I felt like there was not enough horror to much dry romantic horror shop moments its not so good when wrong turn makes you look foolish in there canibal ways lol they were off inbred babies and this guy is just a regular possibly small portion of one but still XD he should of been more clever.
Overall. I enjoyed this movie but would not want to watch it a second time till after a while
I only came here to read the comments.
The movie is classic like The City of Lost Children or Dark City. I saw it years ago in college. It’s not shocking or gory, per se, as with some other entries on site, but definitely a good movie and comical bc it’s weird af. I’d give it a 6.5-7/10.
boring asf french weirdness …i tried but it failed …id suggest not bothering but maybe u will like itif yr apillow biting ass bandit
Ok movie, i give this 5/10, if you’re looking for gore you won’t find it here, just a slow paced story with very good acting.
