Barbaque

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 :)

"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.

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.

Really very well done with comic quid pro quos and very funny dialogues but extremely black and gory humor. Some scenes can be very disturbing for sensitive people. It seems to have been made by French people especially for French people and not for American prudes. If you don't like it, definitely don't go see it and don't comment. You have been warned.
