Eating Raoul (1982)
7/10
Crazy, Corrupted Atmosphere of Satirical Simplicity
25 July 2012
Outrageous black comedy for those with an appetite for the unusual and the deranged cinema of the bizarre. It has the right tone of nonviolent violence and unsexy sex that produces a world of the completely corrupted, crazy atmosphere of satirical simplicity.

Nothing is presented as anything but just the way it never could be. A made up fantasy film that is unique and refreshing in its audaciousness. Deadpan acting helps and you have to listen closely for some of the best lines. A number of punches come from under the breath and ride quick transitions. This is the hallmark of very talented work from a very good ensemble of players and movie makers.

More fun and frolics than most of the major budgeted comedic SNL alumni ventures that have been churned out in the last thirty years. Because talent will out where pretenders and posers play.
