Delicatessen

Delicatessen is a  1991 French film, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, starring Dominique Pinon and Karin Viard.
It is set in an apartment building in a post-apocalyptic France of an ambiguous time period. The story focuses on the tenants of the building and their desperate bids to survive.

It seem the human has reached of the end of the world, all of the values have changes.
People just want to survive and the only way to survival is eat the human flesh.
The butcher, Clapet, is the leader of the group which strives to keep control and balance in the apartment building. All of the people in the apartment building need to pay the rent to him and he wil provide human flesh to them too.
It really like citizen pay taxes to the goverment and government will offers some benefits to them.

Delicatessen  have show the weakness and cruel of human.
Human are selfish. They will do anything to get what they want.
 This movie didn't shown much the time and location.
It might be happened before and after Second World War in French
Before World War 2: unemployement rate, foodin short supply, grain use as currency
After World War 2: Contact lens, TV and other devices

I realize that the movie most of them are in reddish yellow tone to build up the darkness of the building.
In the end of the movie, the blue sky finally had shown since the butcher was dead. It is a hope.

My favourite part is the ryhtm from few scenes. It has been perfectly match up with the sound and scenes.

This is my first time to watch French movie. It really is a new experience for me :)
