Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Peer review/Delicatessen (film)
I think this article has now reached 'Start' class, but I'd like to know where to go from here. Specifically, I'ld like to know where to get information about this specific film from. I've searched in Google and all I get are reviews. I've seen other pages, like Jaws, etc. and their references are articles written at the time of the movie's release, giving information. I don't know where to find that kind of stuff about a film like this that's not that well known and released 17 years ago. Help appreciated. - Dalta (talk) 18:40, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Do you happen to have access to a public library or a university's library resources? I take advantage of my university's library resources a lot. You're not going to find a lot of information on Google for an older film that wasn't widely known (as opposed to Blade Runner or Casablanca), so you may find more information in print. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 16:30, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
- Here's some cinematography resources to get you started: Peter Ettedgui's Cinematography Screencraft has a section on Darius Khondji, while Alex Ballinger's New Cinematographers not only has a section on him, but several pages within that totally devoted to his work on Delicatessen. These two books will mainly cover shooting techniques, styles, and influences, and there are a few general anecdotes of interest regarding the shooting. You may also be able to find some fair usage for a few of the images from these pages; they include notebooks of storyboards and test stills. See also Elizabeth Ezra's new book on Jeunet, and it might be worth looking at some of the key crew members' subsequent interviews to see if they discuss Delicatessen at least by dint of comparison, if not in depth. In any case, it's a good place to start! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 17:51, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
- You may also want to look at the format used, including "Plot", "Production" and "Cast" sections in an appropriate order. Quoting from the reference sources cited above will also be important. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 01:55, 8 August 2008 (UTC).
