Delicatessen – Marc Bruckert

Jean-Pierre Jeunet has had a fairly spotty directorial career in my estimation, but this flick is surely a near perfect gem. The title sequence is equally as inventive and fun as the film itself, yet I almost wish there was a rollicking Tom Waits-ian junkyard tune playing over it, but I can live with the French cafe approach. I just think it could’ve been a little weirder since the film is so decidedly wacky and otherworldly.
