Movie Reviews

Salon - 10/10 by Jenn ShreveI didn't need to understand every word to see what a beautiful film this was - each camera shot a carefully composed masterpiece that immerses the viewer in a realm of luxuriant imagination.
BBC.com - 10/10 by Matt FordA hugely enjoyable film, Delicatessen welds comedy and magic into a bizarre, grotesque fantasy of an oddball dystopian future.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Duane ByrgeThe slapstick is classic-level stuff, the kind of domino-effect precision that is lost in most of today's clumsy farces.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Ted PriggeAn amazing film, filled with amazing style, a wonderful off-beat tone, and some bits of satire which work with the film instead of being apart from it.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeThere's brilliance here -- and a lot of downright sick fun.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Clifford TerryAll of this is handled in a breezy, off-handed, nutsy manner, as the superb cast combines to help bring it off.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaWith its molelike inhabitants, its sprawling war between flesh-eaters and lentil-men, its achingly sweet love story and surrealist blend of dusty antiquities and 21st-century gizmos, Delicatessen is indescribably wild.
The Spectator - 9/10 by Harriet WaughFunny, imaginative, ghoulish and rather beautiful.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Jay CarrThis is still a delightfully original picture, poised perfectly between farce and horror.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marc SavlovSet in some sort of post-apocalyptic Parisian deli o' the damned, this lunatic's take on the future of man is so delightfully warped that it's impossible to shake it out of your head and go get a decent night's sleep.
