Back in 1984, a wonderful film came out that I sadly missed. It's called Eating Raoul. Oh my, what a fun tongue-in-cheek comedy!What's it about? Well, the picture says it all: A very odd couple find themselves in need of money....so they use that little frying pan to bonk folks on the head, kill them dead (rhyme intended), and take off with their money!
In the style of grand farce, the film deftly maintains a tone of sobriety. The main characters never once appear less than earnest in their merry quest for bodies and money!
A third character, Raoul, provides extra spice to the plotline. He likes the pretty spouse and they do, well, something unusual. Now who will kill whom? Who is "good"? Anyone? Haha.
Great romp if you're in the mood for light fare. By the way, note the pun on "light fare."
Bon appetit!
PS: NOT gruesome like Sweeney Todd. NOT humans with fava beans either.
Pretty sure I saw this years ago. Funny.
ReplyDeleteBianca remembers seeing it but forgot the plot. Worth seeing again. Very quiet, subtle humor. I really enjoyed it.
