Review of Delicatessen

This is a very interesting black comedy with a trademark copper-colored lighting by the co-directors, as if everything is clothed by a layer of copper and is eternally devoured by the ubiquitous mythical smoke (exactly the unique lighting employed in "the City of Lost Children"). The cast with the excellent costumes on join hands as a team of very charismatic and comical comedians even by their appearances alone. The theme of human selfishness and indifference to other people's sufferings was embodied thoroughly in the various characters and each of the sub-plots which never fails to amuse the audience in its own way but is not felt to be over the top. A truly delightful comedy experience which should not be missed.
