Anyone have a copy of David Thomson's Cinema Year by Year to hand?
Trying to identify a film still from it.
Early 90s section - a European film, not English-language, a garishly dressed European family sat around a dinner table. Big bald butcher-type dad. Ginger kids.
Similar to the Castle via Delicatessen.
It's not Delicatessen. A brighter cinematography.
Seem to remember a yellow striped shirt.

Ah ha!  I bet it's Delicatessen.

Sort of a French version of Carla Lane's Bread - Pain, if you will.

Take that joke and baguette.
