Delicatessen captures the essence of (good!) art-house flicks through its exploration of human character matched with unique visual style.
Sometime in the future (after some unspecified disaster has occurred) people struggle to survive using arcane technology and changed morals.
The mail is delivered by bicycle, television is in black and white, and food is scarce. So scarce, that responding to a job wanted ad could be your demise, and a healthy meal for others. Against this backdrop, the two main characters (Louison and Julie) struggle to find love and happiness. The other tenants of their apartment building add to the story, each with their own personality traits.
I watched Delicatessen on VHS subtitled in English. I would definitely watch this again. Similar to Brazil in its artistic scope, but without the nonlinearities.
