Product Description

Product Description

Lack of money keeps mild-mannered couple Paul and Mary Bland from their dream of running an upscalerestaurant in the country. When an amorous neighbor accosts Mary, Paul defends her honor by clocking the pervy perp with a skillet. Sensing a golden opportunity, Paul and Mary come up with a kinky plan to advertise themselves as an S & M duo, and then kill (and rob) whomever shows up for their services. Now uptight Paul and Mary are earning cold cash and ridding the world of sleazy "swingers" at the same time! When sexy thief Raoul stumbles onto the Blands profitable operation, he wants a piece of the action, but he also wants Mary! Will Mary fall for Raoul's seductive charms, or will Raoul be the next body in a bag.

Amazon.com

You'd think a black comedy about murder, tackiness, and sexual perversion would quickly become dated, but Eating Raoul (1982) feels surprisingly fresh and delightful. When Mary Bland (Mary Woronov) gets assaulted by one of the repulsive swingers from the neighboring apartment, her husband Paul (Paul Bartel) rescues her with a swift blow from a frying pan--only to discover a substantial wad of cash in the swinger's wallet. A lure-and-kill scheme follows, which nicely fills their nest egg until a slippery thief named Raoul (Robert Beltran of Star Trek: Voyager, making his film debut) stumbles onto the truth and insists on getting a share. When Raoul starts demanding a share of Mary as well, Paul has to take drastic steps. The key to Eating Raoul isn't the sensational content, but the blithe, matter-of-fact attitude Bartel and Woronov take to it; their sly underplaying makes the movie sparkle with wicked wit. --Bret Fetzer

Business owners always have problems & must devise new ways to survive, even if other people don't. Good bread, Good what. We need, Your Butt.

This freak show carved its own niche in the film world because of its willingness to think outside the lunch box. Paul & Mary Bland come up with a spicy answer to their supply problems in this drama, mystery, comedy show. Written & directed by Paul Bartel who plays Paul Bland I feel certain He knew that Mary Woronov aka Bland would be the star of this little gem. She is a staple of dark off the wall movies (check her filmography at IMDB) & actually famous as such. It was no accident she appears in this.

Robert Beltran plays Raoul, a delicious portrayal arranged by Mr. Bartel. Are there people that couldn't be paid to watch this? Oh yeah! The people that are somewhat bent & twisted at need as I am know this was a film that had its tongue firmly in its cheek from the start. We just weren't sure which cheek. If you're open to outlandish solutions to life's ills as well as the difficulties they cause then load this up, if you're staid & easily offended stay away. Go Mary. 5 Stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Real "Killer" B Movie (one of 237!)
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2015
Verified Purchase
This review is an excerpt from my book "Killer B's: The 237 Best Movies On Video You've (Probably) Never Seen," which is available as an ebook on Amazon. If you enjoy this review, there are 236 more like it in the book (plus a whole lot more). Check it out!

EATING RAOUL: Paul and Mary Bland (Bartel and Woronov) don't fit into the "psychopathic environment" of Hollywood. They certainly don't fit into the Swingin' `70s. Paul's a retro kind of guy, a bow-tied wine snob; Mary's a lovely nurse continually accosted by horny morons. They live for their dream of opening a cozy little country restaurant. Just as they see that dream slipping away for lack of money, Paul accidentally kills a swinger attacking Mary. Turns out the perv has a walletful of cash--just like all those sex-crazed maniacs who don't deserve to live, Paul and Mary reason... So they set up a mom & pop S&M business, catering to rich degenerates. Mary lures them in; Paul pops `em with his frying pan and grabs the cash. Things are really cooking until charming Raoul (Beltran) stumbles across their scam and suggests a partnership: they get the cash; he gets the rest--including the bodies. But Raoul is an ambitious dude, and the body he really wants is live, hot--and Mary's. Only Paul stands in his way...

"What a world!" Mary marvels about one of the wacky, kinky fantasies she's been forced to enact. What a world indeed, in which a warped and wicked satire on the Swinging Singles scene is even needed. What a world that could pull off a black comedy about murdering perverts, featuring blind nuns, sex shops and the amazing things you can do with a cheap piece of meat. What a world in which this low budget pre-cult comedy continues to be rediscovered and recommended. (If it doesn't have a large following, at least it has a long shelf life.) And what a world where the creator of the "Bland enchilada" discovers that you can indeed keep a good man down.

5.0 out of 5 stars AT LAST!!! The best TRANSFER on BLU-RAY of EATING RAOUL!!! HOORAY for CRITERION!!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2012
Verified Purchase
Yes, this movie is funny, perverted, and sick, and huge amounts of fun! The CRITERION Edition version is the ONLY way to see this movie. The previous DVD was just kicked onto the market by the previous issuer, but this one looks the best it ever has, there is NO frame jitter and it is mastered in 2K resolution from the original camera negative. This edition also fixes some funky things in the mastering of the previous DVD. The sound is the cleanest is has ever been.

Paul Bartel, the director, would be so proud of this disc. The whole thing looks like it was a labor of love for Criterion and the supplements are indispensable, including interviews with cast members, and two other Paul Bartel films. For more Bartel, find "DEATH RACE 2000" and "SCENES FROM THE CLASS STRUGGLE IS BEVERLY HILLS".

BRAVO!!! I wrote to Criterion many years ago, when they were first issuing Laserdiscs, and I suggested this title. I am only sorry that Paul Bartel did not see his brilliant, snarky movie on Blu-Ray disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great film! Subltly funny
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
I loved this film; it is very quirky, funny and different. The cast are excellent and all work well together, especially the three leads; Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov and Robert Beltran. Some of them overact but that adds to the overall theme of the film, which is overindulgence in all areas, consumerism, and avarice. It makes fun of just about everyone and is a very enjoyable film to watch. Especially a very young and extremely sexy Robert Beltran [Commander Chakotay - Star Trek Voyager - very sexy then too!] I would highly recommend this film, it was filmed on a very tight budget and the sets are limited but you can see it was done with a lot of dedication and effort from all involved. It is in my top ten.

3.0 out of 5 stars Eating Raoul - a tasty movie
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2006
Verified Purchase
Eating Raoul is a good case for not judging a movie by the poster (or box). The stars of this movie include a very straight-laced married couple whose role seems to be making fun of religious conservatives. They play this role in a farcial manner. Equally treatment is given to "swingers" who marked the period in which this movie was made. The swingers are the offset and victims of the stars. The third star of this cult classic is the title character Raoul - their partner in crime. This is not a family movie. You would spend time explaining why the female lead is doing things like dressing as Minnie Mouse and is chased around the room. There is one scene containing nudity of the female lead but this is a sex farce. The whole movie centers around adult themes.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2014

I bought this DVD mostly because Robert Beltran was in it, and have always liked his acting in Star Trek Voyager.

People may think from the reading its all about swingers and S*x but its not.
The storyline is that a married couple need money in order to open up their country kitchen that they have dreamed off, he lost his job in the opening and has to think of others ways to make money. The wife is a nurse. They both live in an apartment block with swingers and disprove of their behaviour. One night they accidently kill a man and realise they have a lot of money. Later on in the film they meet a man called Raoul who fixes locks, they decide to hire him to change them, when in fact he is a thief who copies the keys and steals the expensive possessions. One night they find him in their kitchen with a dead body they had not disposed of and he wants in. Near the end they realise he is making more money and wants to run away with his wife (they have been having s*x) they then kill him and as the title suggests, they eat him and serve him to his friend.

So recommend it for the laughs, its got the cheesy 1980s music for films but to me that's what makes it everything. 100% worth the money
