How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grotesque, inventively staged dark comedy set in a decaying apartment building where cannibalism is the grim economy and romance blooms amid moral collapse. Delicatessen commits fully to its bizarre tonal mixing, finding genuine tenderness and absurdist humour in its nightmarish premise.
