help Delicacy FAQ
Why does Nathalie kiss Markus without warning in Delicacy?
After withdrawing into work following François's death, Nathalie impulsively kisses Markus, a Swedish colleague she had barely noticed before. Markus interprets the kiss seriously, and it becomes the awkward starting point of their relationship.
Is Delicacy based on a novel?
Yes. The 2011 film adapts David Foenkinos's 2009 novel La Délicatesse, with Foenkinos co-directing alongside his brother Stéphane.
Who plays Nathalie and Markus in Delicacy?
Audrey Tautou plays the widowed Nathalie, while Belgian actor François Damiens plays Markus. Their deliberately mismatched pairing drives the film's mixture of grief, office comedy, and romance.
Is Delicacy similar in tone to Amélie?
Both films feature Audrey Tautou in a whimsical Parisian setting, but Delicacy begins with bereavement and spends more time on rebuilding a life after loss. Amélie was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, while Delicacy was directed by David and Stéphane Foenkinos.
