W A T C H. Although I'm none too happy with Netflix for raising prices I derive a secret happiness from their suggestion genres. Currently they are pushing Scary Foreign Movies Featuring a Strong Female Lead. Bring it on, Netflix, bring it on. And so it was by wandering through my personalized suggestions that I found Delicatessen a silly-creepy French film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro. It was completely hilarious, scary and foreign with a couple feisty females. The film follows the tenants of an apartment in a post apocalyptic France, a place where people have been driven to extremes to stay alive. While the story pays close attention to two characters - the landlord's daughter and a newly arrived out of work clown, I found the vignettes about the other tenants to be the most fun. They play out like wacky short stories with incredible visuals and without giving too much away here's a sneak peek at two of my favorite dwellers:
This man lives amongst snails and frogs. Wouldn't this be a genius costume?! He made a frog tongue by applying sticky paper to one of those birthday party whistles. Ribbit.
I don't want to say what goes on with this lady, except that she's chic, creative and crazy.
I'm super excited to see the next pick Netflix throws at me, so while I've been debating keeping my account it looks like I'll be staying for now. What can I say Netflix you really pulled through.
If you're loving the colors, wardrobe and set from the movie check this out!
