Barbacoa

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.

"Vegan's Ham" was produced in 2022. This is gore and comedy. One day, a man who works at a butcher kills a radical vegan who attacks his shop. He turns vegans into meat and sells it. The meat becomes very popular, so he start to attack vegans.

At first, I thought this film is about the action of radical vegans, but the content is very comical and the atmosphere is not so heavy.

But the action of the main characters are truly terrible, they do what a human being must never do. So people who value ethics should avoid watching this film. I think it is quite original and interesting that the story is of a couple's relationship improving and their lives becoming richer through murdering. It's also interesting that the way the characters are killed is a little disappointing. I don't really like the ending. Since it's a comedy film, I want it to remain a comedy until the end. Finally, there is a dog in this film, but the dog doesn't die.

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.

This film has all of the best elements for an amazing dark comedy and puts them together spectacularly. It's truly an excellent script executed flawlessly by the actors. From the gangster hip hop playing during killing scenes to the initial nervous trepidation of the protagonist developing into confidence, it takes you on a laugh-filled journey.

I think a lot of the negative reviews may be vegans taking it too seriously, but this is a brilliant parody that deserves a much higher rating. The actors were cast so well, and really helped to enhance the comedy. The brilliant script is probably the best part of this film. Clever and subtle, without being preachy. One of the best dark comedies I've seen in ages.

Resuming a subject treated by American movies such as "the farm" (2018) and the hilarious " motel hell " (1980) "Barbaque" (French slang for meat) applies it to the current mode of the veggies/vegans vs meat gastronomy.

Well ,you may be,like me ,a veggie ,and appreciate this exciting farce ,provided you have a good sense of (black,of course!) humor ! The poor butchers have their store attacked by a vegetarian : they take vengeance on him by run him over.... And the best way to get rid of a dead body , it's to eat it; so they sell him as "pork from Iran " and the customers find it so delicious that they ask for more. So they begin to hunt for raw material.

There are scenes which will make you heartily laugh:the meal with the son-in-law and his reproach (a nightmare !) ; the slap at the factory farming meat sold in the large store of the couple's so called friends; the lectures by an eminent professor on the awful bloody killers -the last one is a stroke of genius .

Apart from the obligatory song in English (here Steppenwolf's "born to be wild" ) ,because of the dearth of chansons françaises, "la barbaque" takes us far away from the feel good contemporary French comedy ,off the beaten track ,which is fine with me ;a last piece of advice:don't watch it when you're having dinner ,veggie or not.
