CGiii Comment
The story that sent the media into a frenzy...
Directorial debut for Dora - and is, by far, more satisfying than the infantile Grimm Love.
It presumes much from the viewer, you have to know a bit about the story before you start watching - your own imagination is what the director is relying on...clever.
The dialogue is minimal...clever.
Unlike its pitiful peer, Cannibal has shunned the commercial appeal.
This is a testament to pictures painting thousands of words - words don't matter here - the pictures scream at you.
This is incredible film-making, startlingly real, beyond graphic and rather beautiful.
Consensual insanity with intense intelligence.
Extraordinary.
A revolting masterwork and very difficult to watch.

The(ir) Blurb...
The Internet becomes a virtual shopping list for a man with an obsessive fetish for eating his fellow man. The technically inclined cannibal places a cyberspace advertisement for a willing victim, and his marketing efforts pay off when the gruesome madman receives a reply from eager prey. This macabre drama is a reenactment of the true story of Armin Meiwes, who was convicted of killing and eating his voluntary victim, Bernd-Jürgen Brandes.
