Hey is that a mid-century Edward Hopper painting??

No, just a reflection from the back of one of the several film studio trucks in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Cannibalism In Greenpoint?

Posted on April 1, 2011 | 2 Comments

I walk by this every day on my way to work.  On Nassau Ave at Russell, there’s a “Delicatessen” right next to a funeral home. I think they might be connected.

Anyone else remember “Delicatessen”?  The 1991 French black comedy film, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, starring Dominique Pinon and Karin Viard, set in a post-apocalyptic apartment building in France, which involved butchery and a lot of eating of people.  I allow my imagination to think that there may be some human kielbasa being made here and that’s why I’ve never stepped inside.

These guys made The City of Lost Children, too. You saw that right?!
