Veganer schmecken besser

I've watched it at MOTEL X Film Festival and I felt surprised about this French movie.

The plot would be so disturbing if was just a serious drama. Some Like It Rare knows how to transform the disturbing and gruesome elements in comedy.

I've never laughed so much in a movie theater like when I was watching this movie. It's full of funny scenes and the humour always work... Except if you don't like dark humour, because in that case, Some Like it Rare isn't for you.

The only problem is the ending. It finishes too fast. I think would be so much better if they added a couple of scenes before the ending.

The movie already has a lot of titles - I wouldn't be surprised if it gets this one too somewhere (hey pass on some money if you use that! Just saying). Kidding aside - well not entirely, because the movie thrives on humor. Dark humor, but humor nonetheless. And is built on broken and fragile relationships.

The director is also the main actor in this. And while he had an even funnier hairstyle in the video message he sent to the filmfest I attended, he still looks funny and trustworthy. Which of course is a great contradiction to all the terrible things that he is "forced" to do.

If you are easily offended and triggered the movie may not be for you. The movie also says a lot about us as a society. The way we treat each other - there are a few themes hidden inside the movie that it explores quite nicely.

In the black humor register, bloody, lethal humor, I admit that I prefered C'EST ARRIVE PRES DE CHEZ VOUS, starring Benoit Poelvoorde, it was more disturbing than this one, maybe too comedy oriented. But it is daring for the French movie industry to produce this kind of film, which is also speaking of a modern issue, at least in France: vegan actvism. It is entertaining, well edited, fast paced, with sharp dialogues but with sometimes weak acting from supporting characters. You can watch it during your meal, even if you cook and eat red meat, this is not really disgusting, not nasty enough. To summarize, comedy takes more place than dark and bloody elements. It remains worth watching though.

Stylish French black huomor movie. Dont expect much horror, more is a very good comedy.

As French Comedies I had seen lately this on of the best. Subject homself is very sensitive for. Vegans. Not reccomend it for vegans :)

The plot is bizarre and unexpected-even if you've read the synopsis, you'll still find yourself thinking, "They did not just do that". And yet, somehow, it all works. While there are gory moments, they're not overdone or repetitive, so I'm not entirely convinced this qualifies as horror. In fact, what might shock viewers more are the borderline jokes and body-related humour, which fit the premise perfectly but are definitely not for all audiences.

There's a good dose of dark comedy: brace yourself for the "hunting" scenes, which are beautifully shot and absolutely hilarious. The story, despite its absurd twists, manages to feel disturbingly believable. It reminded me of Albert Dupontel's early films (Bernie and Le Créateur), where we effectively follow the perspective of a serial killer through a comedy plot.

Last but not least, the acting is stellar. Fabrice Eboué is pitch-perfect, and Marina Foïs proves yet again why she's one of the best, delivering a flawless performance even in such a daring role.

If you're in the mood for something wild and unconventional, this one will surprise you in the best way.
