RCAC Indie Classic Film Series screening of Delicatessen

 

The Rossland Council for Arts and Culture (RCAC) is excited to present a screening of “Delicatessen” (1992). A unique film where a post-apocalyptic future becomes the setting for pitch black humor in this visually intricate French comedy. The action takes place within a single apartment complex, which is owned by the same man that operates the downstairs butcher shop. It's a particularly popular place to live, thanks to the butcher's uncanny ability to find excellent cuts of meat despite the horrible living conditions outside. The newest building superintendent, a former circus clown, thinks he has found an ideal living situation. All that changes, however, when he discovers the true source of the butcher's meat, and that he may be the next main course.

This dark tale is played out in a brilliantly designed, glorious surreal alternate world that includes extravagant visuals, absurdist plot twists, and a sense of humor that combines sharp satire with broad slapstick and gross-out imagery. This mixture may displease the weak of stomach, but those attuned to the film's sensibility will be delighted by the obvious technical virtuosity and wicked sense of humor.

As a part of our Performance Series programming the RCAC is delighted to continue our new Indie Classic Film Series. From thought provoking classic films to stunning modern videography, the RCAC will bring you a selection of indie films that you will not want to miss!
