Sinopsis:
- [fuente] Un matrimonio de clase media seduce a todo tipo de vividores nocturnos para llevarlos a su apartamento. Una vez allí, con el propósito de librar al mundo de pervertidos y de resolver su situación económica, los asesinan...
En SensaCine se escribió:El matrimonio formado por Paul y Mary Bland quiere obtener ingresos extras y no se les ocurre otra idea que aprovechar las perversiones sexuales de otras personas para lucrarse a cuenta de ellas de una manera muy peculiar: después de matar a un borracho que se introduce por casualidad en su vivienda deciden un plan, las atraen a su apartamento prometiendo fantasías nunca realizadas y las matan para hacerse con su dinero, que les servirá para conseguir el restaurante que siempre habían soñado y dejar definitivamente su trabajo de enfermera y de vendedor de licores, respectivamente. Los cadáveres, siempre una labor difícil el desembarazarse de ellos, se destinan a comida, no es cuestión de desaprovecharlos.
AMG SYNOPSIS: 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
AMG REVIEW: Paul Bartel's black comedy about a middle-class couple who want to open a restaurant has become a cult classic. Bartel and Mary Woronov play a staid couple who formulate a plan to murder and rob "swingers" to finance their dream of opening a gourmet restaurant. Bartel, who dealt in black comedy long before it became fashionable, has created an oddly affectionate satire of this Moral Majority couple, whose righteousness is concealed behind anonymous polyester surfaces, and are literally dubbed the Blands. Although they believe that the "swingers", i.e. anyone single who is having sex, deserve to die for their terrible transgressions, they're so humane toward their victims that they evoke especially unctuous undertakers. Mary Woronov, a fixture of Warhol's Factory in the '60s, and someone whose mien always suggested the unspeakable, is a witty choice as the homicidal wife, and Bartel adopts the role of tract-house suburbanite with eerie aplomb. -- Michael Costello
En Criterion se escribió:A sleeper hit of the early 1980s, Eating Raoul is a bawdy, gleefully amoral tale of conspicuous consumption. Warhol superstar Mary Woronov and cult legend Paul Bartel (who also directed) portray a prudish married couple who feel put upon by the swingers living in their apartment building. One night, by accident, they discover a way to simultaneously rid themselves of the “perverts” down the hall and realize their dream of opening a restaurant. A mix of hilarious, anything-goes slapstick and biting satire of me-generation self-indulgence, Eating Raoul marked the end of the sexual revolution with a thwack.
