4 stars (Very Good) One of the darkest comedies you will ever experience, and still standing as Jean-Pierre's evil masterpiece. ~Tom H

4 stars (Very Good) A post-apocalyptic society where food is so rare it's used as currency. The owner of an apartment building, with a delicatessen below, likes to prepare the odd delicacy for his quirky tenants. Visually outstanding, bizarrely funny & highly memorable! ~GenXGirl
