If Delicatessen hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: dystopia, life after the end
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

The same two preoccupations: dark comedy, and surrealism

Both keep coming back to the same thing: dark comedy
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than Delicatessen does

Both are built on the same subject: surrealism
The difference: Trades the bleakness of Delicatessen for an angle of its own

Common ground: dystopia
The difference: Easier on the dream logic than Delicatessen

The same preoccupation in both: life after the end
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Delicatessen does

Witty and playful in the same breath

Darkly funny where it counts, bleak underneath

Cerebral science fiction in both cases
