Delicatessen (1991) is a French black comedy by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, starring Dominique Pinon.

The action is set in a French city after a nuclear war or some equivalent global catastrophe. The story revolves around a bizarre group of neighbors living in an apartment building situated over a butcher shop, the operator of which is also their landlord. With dwindling food supplies, the residents of the building take to desperate measures and routinely lure in unsuspecting new tenants, whom they then kill and cannibalize. The hero is an unemployed clown, who is the latest victim to move in, and begins an affair with the butcher's daughter, while trying to survive constant attempts on his life.

There are similarities between the butcher crimes and the real crimes of Fritz Haarmann on post-World War I era: 'Rumours had it that Haarmann would then peddle meat from the bodies of his victims as black market pork'. More information on the bottom on a theme related article:
