Delicatessen

Last night I watched Deilcatessen directed by Jeunet and Caro. The film is set in apocalyptic times - where food is seen to be so precious it is used as currency. The film is futuristic but not it the shiny suit, space ship way. In fact a lot of what you see is old fashioned, even the filming. It's quite creepy at times, the main plot of the film is set around a group of apartment residents whose landlord is a butcher. As there is a shortage of meat, the butcher serves up humans - usually the maintenance men who work there for a short while. The residents all know and willingly encourage him...
