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.
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.
What the actual fuck am I watching right now. How was this thing on a ‘1001 movies you must watch before you die’ list.
I didn’t get to see enough boobies.
Best part of this movie: the end credits (kid you not) – also the bed music thing, but you really gotta be blazing to get the punchline.
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
one of the better movies on this site
Please… do not reply to yourself. It’s needy and repugnant
We can’t edit our comments here so a reply is the only way to add extra content to a post or correct it. No need to flip your lid over it.
You can edit your comments but only for a short period of time. My guess is that OP wasn’t aware of this, but yeah, Coolidge didn’t had to be such a shithead about it.
Sorry if I hurt your feelings ????

Have you ever been to school???
With a name like butch you sound like a gay pornstar. I suppose you are in one of the lower rated movies on this site.
Yep… along with your mom
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.
Same as with any far out there film that shows up on this site
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.
Totally agree!
boring asf french weirdness …i tried but it failed …id suggest not bothering but maybe u will like itif yr apillow biting ass bandit
You ignorant clown… you wouldn’t know a good movie if it rummaged around your pants for three hours looking for whatever you explain to others is a cock. I would venture a guess that is a merely one small thing in a great list of stuff you tried, and failed.
shut up dicklicker
Bahahahaha!
Very funny ????. Yes maybe Dion needs to get out of NZ and get a life. Delicatessen is a very good movie.
Just STFU, pecker smoker.
Ratio
bruh you’re mentally challenged, horror equivalent of a Transformers fan
Only pillow biting ass bandit’s call other people pillow biting ass bandits projecting insecurity of their own pillow biting ass banditness. Learn how to fuckin spell before you come out of the closet or you’ll look like a retarded pillow biting ass bandit. I’m sure there’s a special class for pillow biting ass bandit’s such as yourself so study hard and don’t let ALL of your pillow biting ass bandit classmate’s party in your asshole or else you’ll need pampers again because every time you need to shit it will just fallout. Unless you’re already literally losing your shit and in that case good luck and have fun in special class you pillow biting ass bandit.
P.S. Your mom invited us to run a train on her because her son is a pillow biting ass bandit
Says the fuckin raging ass pirate,fuck off you pole smoking jizz licker
I kicked your mom in the pussy
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.
are you BLCK?
