Crafted Delicatessen

A kinetically comic blend of dark humor and satire from France, set in a post-apocalyptic world where lack of food drives the residents of an apartment house to hiring “handymen,” killing them, and supplying the bodies to their landlord, a butcher, for processing. Complications arise when the butcher’s daughter falls for the hapless latest arrival. Marie-Laure Dougnac, Dominique Pinon star; co-directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; audio commentary by Jeunet; “making of” documentary; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
