Narrative Film Screening 3

The first film we watched today was called 'Shave It' which is a 3D animation. It is about a Monkey whose home is destroyed by humans, so he shaves off his fur and disguises himself as a human. He then learns hows to make a machine that will bulldoze down buildings and replace them with the jungle, recreating his home with human technology.

Next we watched a French film called 'Delicatessen', which involved a hotel above a Butchers. There are food shortages and the Butcher kills off the new residents and then hands out their body (meat) to other residents of the hotel, who are all in on his devious and horrific scheme. The Butchers daughter fall in love with the new victim and this film shows how they escape and put an end to the killing.
