Quite an odd movie, best described as a black comedy. It's kind of hard to pin down what time frame this movie is set in, and what has become of society? Food is in short supply and is on everyone's mind. A menacing butcher who is also a landlord in a run down apartment block, serves his tenants, both over the counter and on the chopping block. The apartments are occupied by a weird and quirky bunch of tenants. One of the tenants is the butchers fragile daughter, who takes an interest in the new handy man. The handy man is an out of work clown, who might be the most normal person in the apartment block? His biggest challenge is to stay away from the butchers chopping block! The scenery and settings are dark and hazy, which compliment the dark story. I found the movie somewhat slow in the first 30 minutes, I was tempted to turn it off. However it gets better as it goes along, so I'm glad I watched the whole thing. I'm not exactly sure what I watched but? For a few reasons, it's a movie not easily forgotten.
