Sensitive hearts, abstain. The humorist Fabrice Éboué offers here a very dark, very gritty comedy, visibly motivated by the desire to do battle with political correctness and the excesses of all forms of activism. To appreciate, the spectator must however be a fan of the genre and fully subscribe to this bloody farce which also borrows the codes of romantic comedy. There’s nothing like targeting beautiful vegan specimens to reunite a couple and stimulate their libido!
40 years ago in Santa Clause is garbage, the human body was given to the beasts to eat, but these provincial butchers, Vincent (Fabrice Éboué) and Sophie (Marina Foïs) have found an even more cynical way to dispose of the body of a vegan activist who vandalized their shop. The story thus takes off from the moment when, against all expectations, the specialty of the house becomes appreciated to the point where supply problems will one day arise.
barbecue is one of those films that cannibalizes itself – pardon the expression – very quickly. From the moment the postulate is posed, it’s a bit like we don’t really know where to go next. That said, Éboué nevertheless maintains the course on the completely immoral aspect of a story where the corpses go through the meat grinder, to the delight of a clientele who, without obviously knowing the true origin of what they eat, want more.
It’s silly and mean, sometimes clumsy, not always successful either, but it’s still rare for a French comedy to walk the avenues of bad taste and cinema. gore so confidently. For amateurs only.
barbecue is playing in theaters.
