Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (1978)

 

One by one, the greatest Chefs in Europe are being killed. Each chef murdered in the same manner that their own special dish is prepared in. Food critics and the (many) self-proclaimed greatest Chefs in Europe demand the mystery be solved.

From memory: Fairly humorous, but quite silly crime mystery spoof is basically well-made and entertaining; Robert Morley, though, steals the show.

Halliwell*: "Unusual and lighthearted black comedy against the background of international gastronomy."

Maltin***: "Slick comedy whodunnit...has luscious views of Eurpean scenery and food, plus a magnificently funny role for Morley..." 

 

Avril et le monde truqué (2015)

France asleep in the nineteenth century, governed by steam and Napoleon V, where scientists vanish mysteriously, Avril, a teenage girl, goes in search of her missing scientist parents.

Delightfully quirky animated movie set in a steampunk alternate reality; lovable characters (especially Avril and her cat) and highly imaginative sets make this a joy to watch.
