I just saw "Delicatessen" and it is a French film. Don't judge, French films are awesome. My favorite movie is a French film (Amelie [Sam P hates me for that]) and this one was pretty good too.

I'm not going to give the plot away but I will say that if the script had been revised a little bit more, and some of the characters developed further, and other eliminated, it would have been my new favorite film. If I were to describe it, it would be like Sweeney Todd meets Amelie. No wonder I liked it so much. Suck it, Jake + Sam. <3
I liked all the ingenuity in the story. Jean P.J. (We're such good friends, he lets me call him that) did the cinematography, so of course it's visually awesome. No argument there.
There were some shots that broke the flow, but that wasn't Jean's fault because he didn't direct it.

Even though Jean was not the director, his nose was everywhere. He is like the Tim Burton of France (except a little bit better [If they were one person, they'd be perfect]) he uses a lot of the same actors in his movies, and even though this one was not his, his favorites were there.
The opening credits were really good too btw.
The characters are so interesting. If this movie were to be improved, I would say that there needs to be more character development. Some of them don't really need to be there at all (unless the story was more character-driven.) That's another thing, the pace was pretty neutral. I didn't really get that excited during the scenes that were supposed to be exciting. I'm just speechless. I have no idea what to say. Perhaps I should have organized my thoughts before writing this, but it's so good!

I appreciated it so much. It could have been better, but it was still soo güd! Now if you'll excuse me, Imma go buy the cheapest widescreen copy I can find on eBay. Good night, and watch it if you haven't already!
