The story of butchers serving up human flesh which tastes to good that nobody can resist it goes back at least four centuries. It reached its peak in the UK in 1846 when penny dreadfuls circulated the legend of Sweeney Todd, but in France most people think first of a story about St Nicholas, who is said to have saved the souls of some unfortunate children done away with in that fashion. Although films on the subject are commonplace, France hasn’t produced one since 1990’s Delicatessen, and whilst this doesn’t come close to the magic of Jeunet et Caro, it’s a little classier than what most cannibal films fans will be used to – even if its characters are not.
Vincent (Fabrice Eboué) is the butcher at the centre of this story: a friendly, unassuming guy who is just trying to make his way in life and gradually running his.
