Just thought I'd mention it here since I already fixed this and found it reverted, but you can not "center around". You can however "center on". It seems that RepublicanJacobite may have accidentally lumped my single grammatical fix in with random vandalism. To quote John B. Bremmer's book Words on Words,
"It is physically impossible to center around. Make it center on. If you want to use around, use it with cluster, hover, revolve, rotate. Use around with circle when the context is dynamic ('The protesters continuously circled around the stadium'), but not when the context is static ('Police circled the hijacked plane')."
I've taken the liberty to re-institute this grammatical fix in the first paragraph, but if consensus is that we should center "around" and not "on", I won't change it again if it's reverted, so no worries on a revert war over one word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.71.54.190 ( talk) 19:46, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
I think Delicatessen should be taken out of the post apocalyptic movie catagorie and moved somewhere else since, it appears to take place during WWII (At least this was my impression of it).
I disagree - it is definitely post-apocalyptic and is set in the future.-- Colin 17:10, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
I note from the DVD comentary on Amelie that the director included Princess Diana in that movie to fix it to a point in time - perhaps because of this confusion about Delicatessen! The film seems to be deliberately vague about time; it is certainly post-apocalyptic, but everything in it seems to be of a style assoicated with the 1950s, so identifying the apocalypse in question is difficult.

Some films ( Alien: Resurrection) are placed intentionally in some future time. This film and the next ( The City of Lost Children) are intentionally beyond time. They are tales and/or metaphors in imaginary space-time (although this one could be claimed to be "in France"). Even the term "post-apocalyptic" does not necessarily place an event in "real time". I think one should not limit the imagination of the reader (or viewer) by trying to place a film in time, if this is not the intention of the director or writer. The way this article starts does this. It is also not so encyclopedic to include possible interpretations. I will therefore move the first phrase which attempts to connect it in "real space-time" to trivia and if at a later time more information, or quotes from some acceptable source are found, it can be reintegrated. I leave a "post-apocalyptic" and "possibly France" mention as they fit the film's style. -- Hoverfish 08:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

It has been a long time since I saw this movie so my memory may be failing me. I remember that the butcher's scheme in the movie was an important plot twist and it is spoiled immediately at the first paragraph of the Plot section. The section may be rewritten so that it gives away the twist at the end, maybe? Avnibu ( talk) 10:40, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
She's in it sure but she's not one of the "stars". How come neither the butcher or his daughter are mentioned as stars? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.238.30 ( talk) 22:54, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
