  "Drowning By Numbers" is another film by the same guy. It's equally weird. The story is about three women who marry, then decide to murder their husbands by drowning them creatively. It's rather artsy and odd. I dug it.

    ***"Drowning By Numbers" is another film by the same guy.

    Indeed. And the the thickest, the most dense images ever (forget the "Cook...") see his "Prospero's Books" - if you can sit through it, that is...

  you should like La Citée des Enfants Perdus (City of lost children or something like this). It is from the same guy who made Delicatessen with the same weird ambiance to it.

      City of Lost Children is an excellent film- elements of Delicatessen but with greater sophistication (and budget)-with the odd looking Dominic Pinon (the hitman from Diva)and Ron Perlman who has great presence.

      Full of strange characters and a bizarre plot, wonderful special effects and camera work-

      Highly recommended.

    Don't want to drive that stake completely through the heart. ;-)

    Using Eating Raoul (which is fine) as a reference, are Delicatessen and La Citee... not for the sqeamish?

      No... Is the title a translation from a french movie?

            Good work by Bernard Giraudeau, whom we remember from "Passione d'amore", a bizarre story with good performances.
