FOUTAISES opens with "a butcher shop window" in muted colors. Each piece of food, a tray of eyeballs, then a tray of chicken heads, then a tray of chicken feet with signs protruding from each tray giving us Titles and Credits. Finally a big silver hatchet in a cutting board (A precursor to DELICATESSEN). The film becomes black and white with Dominique Pinon telling and showing us what he like and dislikes.
