Movie Review: Delicatessen

I won't kid you...this movie is fuh-reeky...really very strange, and not for the faint of heart. About a third of the way into it, I was regretting the choice and thinking it was just too weird and disturbing for me. But then, having made that decision that I didn't like it, something funny happened...I stopped overanalyzing it and just started enjoying it. Very quirky, for sure, and pretty dark (I mean, is cannabilism ever a light topic?), but also really funny and entertaining. By the time the credits rolled, I was sorry it was over.

So, if you're in the mood for something different, check it out. There are subtitles, but the plot is so engrossing that after a bit, you don't even notice that you're reading them.

What kind of a movie is it? Is it horror?
