  Delicatessen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A North American delicatessen is often referred to, informally or affectionately, as a deli.
Delicatessens vary greatly in size, but are typically not as large as grocery stores.
Delicatessens often sell their meats by weight, as cold cuts, and prepare party trays.

 Delicatessen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
The delicatessen is a boon to the historical and contemporary city dweller with a distaste for chain fast food joints but without time for a sit-down or home-cooked meal.
Like a market, a delicatessen offers a selection of shelved food, though it is very limited, entirely devoid of anything likely to be kept for more than a day.
In order to provide an opportunity for a complete meal, delicatessens also offer a wide variety of beverages, usually pre-packaged soft drinks, teas, milk, etc. Chips and similiar products are available in some variety, though they rarely rival the selection of small package cookies and snack foods; some pre-packaged, others store-made and cellophane wrapped.

 Amazon.ca: Video: Delicatessen (With English Subtitles) [IMPORT]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
Delicatessen is a feast (if you will) of hilarious vignettes, slapstick gags, and sweetly eccentric characters, including a man in a swampy room full of frogs, a woman doggedly determined to commit suicide (she never gets its right), and a pair of brothers who make toy sound boxes that "moo" like cows.
Well, as it stands Delicatessen is a vastly inventive movie (certainly more than most) and there are a great deal of incidental things to enjoy (a boomerang fighting weapon, a room flooded by frogs and a disastrous first date) that are mostly based on the kind of situation comedy that Jeunet is so good at.
By the end of the movie, each tenant of the apartment building was portrayed as a unique individual, and each had their own story.

 amelie movie review by Jim Eadon
But where as corporate Hollywood movies are wantonly and focus-group-affectedly childish, Amelie (Audrey Tautou) is affectingly childlike, in the sense it captures a wonderment untainted by the crap you perceive as a jaded adult.
Delicatessen is the first movie by the same (more or less) people and is just as inspired as Amelie.
Delicatessen is the story of a clown who works for a murderous butcher, one of the most glorious comedic characters I have ever seen on a screen.

Delicatessen presents a post-apocalyptic scenario set entirely in a dank and gloomy building where the landlord operates a delicatessen on the ground floor.
Delicatessen is a feast (if you will) of hilarious vignettes, slapstick gags, and sweetly eccentric characters, including a man in a swampy room full of frogs, a woman doggedly determined to commit suicide (she never gets it right) and a pair of brothers who make toy sound boxes that "moo" like cows.
It doesn't amount to much as a story, but that hardly matters; this is the kind of comedy that leaps from a unique wellspring of imagination and inspiration, and it's handled with such visual virtuosity that you can't help but be mesmerised.

Jeunet does use sound really well in his films though, and this movie has a great scene utilizing the sounds of "lovemaking." Sound vulgar, and I guess really it is, but it is also quite funny.
This movie was nominated for several Oscars, but as we all know that doesn't necessarily mean the film is any good.
Mystique: For the first 30 minutes or so of this movie, I thought, "Yeah, ok, this is kind of boring," but the movie did a nice job of stopping, and showing the previous events from another person's perspectives, and really helped the viewer see what was really happening.

"Delicatessen," on the other hand, gets the lunacy just right, although this one - a cannibal comedy with a very bleak futuristic setting - is likely too dark for mainstream audiences.
The story focuses on the varied tenants in a dilapidated (and very gothic) apartment building that rests over the title establishment.
"Delicatessen" is rated R for violence, profanity and a sex scene.

Developed by the dynamic French filmmaking duo of Jeunet and Caro, "Delicatessen" presents a perspective of film as both a medium for delivering a narrative and an art form in and of itself.
While "Delicatessen" presents a reality teeming with the bizarre - a butcher/landlord that survives by killing off and selling unsuspecting tenants as meat, for example - the characters are no less endearing.

 Jean-Pierre Jeunet
This movie combined sci-fi and heroic-fantasy in a visually delirious story of the rising paranoia among soldiers trapped underground.
Jeunet and Caro kept the same responsibilities as in DELICATESSEN and the movie also combined different international skills: American actor Ron Perlman, Chilean-born actor Daniel Emilfork, Iranian cinematographer Darius Khondji (who was already in the crew of DELICATESSEN), Americo-Italian composer Angelo Badalamenti and French fashion-designer Jean-Paul Gaultier for the costumes.
But these critics didn't stop the movie from being successful and when the movie gained them further attention, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood called them.

Combining the cruel humour of Grimm's fairy stories, with the spirit of Terry Gilliam and that peculiarly French knack of putting magic into film, this feverish tale of star-crossed lovers and small town cannibalism has endured as a true masterpiece of the fantastique.
With "Delicatessen", Jeunet and Caro gave the world a canny and confident calling card for that most coveted of talents - commercial arthouse cinema.
