Format:DVD
Two wonderful French films that I am sure will stay in your imagination for years to come.
I believe these films are as good if not better than Guillermo Del Toro's civil war fairy tale fantasies.

Stuck on the sofa after a knee op I ordered a few DVDs for a French cinema session. We had seen Delicatessen a couple of times before and found it really funny with echos of Brazil. This collection and MicMacs confirmed just how quirky these guys are! Its a whole other world they create and they present it beautifully. Very entertaining. I really need to watch carefully more than once to really sort out the plot properly. If you like unusual then these films will certainly tickle your fancy. Tres marrant, super!

I really enjoyed Amelie and found myself wanting to watch more of Jean-pierre's work. I had borrowed Delicatessen from a friend and I decided that this was a great offer to have 3 films form the him. The short film is not my cuppa tea but the other 2 are great and so for the price you cant complain.

Classic bien sur.
Deli is fantastic, obviously, the other bits are grim. I give it five for Deli and none for the rest.
