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.
