Eating Raoul

Eating Raoul was celebrated at the time of its release as the perfect marriage between mainstream moviemaking and the so-called underground cinema. Cult-film icons Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel (both of whom directed) play a married couple who decide to cash in on the sexual perversions of others. Posing as a hooker, Woronov lures the johns in and indulges their every kinky whim, whereupon Bartel kills the unwary client, steals the valuables, and sells the corpse for dog food. Though they see nothing wrong in what they're doing, they react in prudish disgust at the sexual preferences of their victims. Eventually, Raoul (Robert Beltran), the fellow who transports the corpses to the dog food concern, proves expendable--and extremely edible. Eating Raoul features a high-powered comic supporting cast, among them Buck Henry, Ed Begley Jr., Richard Paul, Hamilton Camp, and Edie McClurg.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

  I last saw (and loved) this film 20 years ago and on a recent viewing it proved to be even better than I remembered. An hilarious deadpan satire on sexual ... read more »
