About this listen
Delicatessen (1991) is one of the most unique dystopian films ever made. It is a dark comedy set in post‑apocalyptic France where a butcher feeds tenants human meat to survive. In this episode, we unpack the film’s surreal humor, its commentary on factory farming and routine, and why Jean‑Pierre Jeunet’s vision feels disturbingly relevant in 2025.
