Eating Raoul description
You'd think a black comedy about murder, tackiness, and sexual perversion would quickly become dated, but Eating Raoul (1982) feels surprisingly fresh and delightful. When Mary Bland (Mary Woronov) gets assaulted by one of the repulsive swingers from the neighboring apartment, her husband Paul (Paul Bartel) rescues her with a swift blow from a frying pan--only to discover a substantial wad of cash in the swinger's wallet. A lure-and-kill scheme follows, which nicely fills their nest egg until a slippery thief named Raoul (Robert Beltran of Star Trek: Voyager, making his film debut) stumbles onto the truth and insists on getting a share. When Raoul starts demanding a share of Mary as well, Paul has to take drastic steps. The key to Eating Raoul isn't the sensational content, but the blithe, matter-of-fact attitude Bartel and Woronov take to it; their sly underplaying makes the movie sparkle with wicked wit. --Bret Fetzer |

Eating Raoul - a tasty movie
|
| Eating Raoul is a good case for not judging a movie by the poster (or box). The stars of this movie include a very straight-laced married couple whose role seems to be making fun of religious conservatives. They play this role in a farcial manner. Equally treatment is given to "swingers" who marked the period in which this movie was made. The swingers are the offset and victims of the stars. The third star of this cult classic is the title character Raoul - their partner in crime. This is not a family movie. You would spend time explaining why the female lead is doing things like dressing as Minnie Mouse and is chased around the room. There is one scene containing nudity of the female lead but this is a sex farce. The whole movie centers around adult themes. |
