'Delicatessen'

Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a true modern auteur. From "Delicatessen" to "Amelie" and "A Very Long Engagement," he's created very, very good catalog of films with a very distinct stamp and style.

Along the way, he's established a very talented stable of performers and filmmakers from actors and actresses to cinematographers, set designers and editors.

It probably makes things really easier to have people that know what you want. But it also makes it possible to create that style having people with similar tastes and goals in their art.

"Delicatessen" is a lot more darker than his other films, but it still shines with a certain amount of hope that even when the world has ended, certain things like love and good keep existing.
