Delicatessen(1991)
In a burnt-out city on the verge of collapse, a canny butcher employs various young handymen, kills them, and then sells them as meat. When ex-circus performer Louison arrives looking for work, it seems that his head will be the next on the block. But Louison falls in love with Julie, the butcher's daughter, and together they join forces with an underground vegetarian group who plan to bring an end to the butcher's cruel regime.

Delicatessen was made on a relatively small budget, and it is deliberately foggy and smoky a lot of the time, which tends to make the image appear softer and noisier than it actually really is. The sharpness of this image becomes more apparent in the many close-ups, where the weird, Felliniesque faces which fill the film are presented in all their often startling array, despite a very noticeable layer of grain. The bulk of Delicatessen is bathed in ghastly and ghostly yellows and greens, which adds to the strange looking contrast, but this Blu-ray is most definitely a major step up from standard-def releases. However, erring on the cautious side for you persnickety videophiles (and you know who you are), I've graded this release at a conservative 3.5. You may in fact be very pleasantly surprised. Delicatessen Blu-ray, Audio QualityDelicatessen's original French track is presented in an excellent, if narrow, DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mix which offers an appealing mix of the minimal dialogue, foley effects (which are plentiful), and the whimsical underscore. Fidelity is really top notch here, with some great sound effects dotting the soundscape. Everything from frogs hopping in a flooded apartment to sharp and piercing drilling sounds as two other tenants assemble whatever bizarre item they're making with spools and tuning forks. Range is also excellent here, with good, robust highs and lows making this a fun and appealing sonic experience. There's obviously not a huge soundfield here to exploit, but this is as odd and idiosyncratic a soundtrack as the film itself is, and it is provided a solid lossless track on this Blu-ray.
