My Take
A clown takes a job as a handyman in an apartment building. The landlord is the butcher. The tenants eat well. The clown does not read the room. Jeunet's debut is beautiful, insane, and has no business being this funny about cannibalism.
▶Official Synopsis
In a post-apocalyptic world, the residents of an apartment above the butcher shop receive an occasional delicacy of meat, something that is in low supply. A young man new in town falls in love with the butcher's daughter, which causes conflicts in her family, who need the young man for other business-related purposes.
