This movie is coming on in 30 minutes on IFC, and I wanted to know if it is worth my time. All I know is it's about an ex-circus clown cannibal who works at a butcher shop in a post-apocalyptic future. Sounds pretty good to me!

Has anyone seen this? Is it worth 2 hours of my life?

With a plot like that, how can you resist?

Actually it's about an ex-circus clown who works at an apartment complex run by a cannibalistic butcher in a post-apocalyptic world.

It's got some good comedy, but drags at times, I'd recommend checking it out though - has some very memorable bits. (It's from Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (of Amelie and City of Lost Children fame)) I also haven't seen it in a few years, so my opinion prolly changed a good bit since then, I may love it now for all I know, wish it was out on DVD.

(saw it it in French w/ English subtitles (IFC is good about showing subbed so it should be the same heh))

I was gonna see it, but it was on at what... 2am? 1am? So I watched 'Coupling' instead.

Definitely worth a look. It has the funniest sex scene ever filmed.
