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

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.

Strange Mutations

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

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!

Deliciously Macabre Dish

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

Is this film a parody of the new morality? A spoof of the old amorality? A send-up of conspicuous consumption? Regardless it's a funny movie. Not classic but the laugh quota is consistent. What I found interesting about the film was nary a drop of blood was shed despite the subject matter. Paul(Paul Bartel) and Mary(Mary Woronov) Bland dispatch their prey with a skillet with the exception of a hot tub full of swingers. Bartel and Woronov continue the fruitful partnership that solidified itself with "Rock 'N' Roll High School". Terrific bit by John Paragon as a sex shop owner. I would suppose you could call this an important film because I'm almost certain it informed The Farrellys and Judd Apatow but on the surface it's just above the norm.

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.

🍿 Great Movie 🎥

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is Paul Bartel’s classic movie from the eighties. It’s a dark comedy that will have you laughing, or scratching your head, because you’re a Millennial. I’m keeping this short. The film gets five stars. The bonus features get three stars. For being a Criterion Collection, I was disappointed more wasn’t unearthed about this film. So five and three averages out to four stars.

Weird Dark Comedy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2006

Verified Purchase

Mary Waranov is excellent in this fairly strange period piece that has one of the more bizarre plots of any movie I can recall. A very straitlaced couple are confronted constantly with "swingers " who party in the building where they live and stumble on a twisted scam to attract and make money on other people's perversions. A very weird one of a kind film that is entertaining in a sick way. Should have become a cult classic but has become a bit obscure over the years. I remember seeing this in the theater but after checking out the DVD I had really forgotten just how weird this one is. By the way the DVD I got is a good transfer. Based on the complaints below, it must be a new edition.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

Another film only previously seen in bad old VHS days. It did leave an impression though with its unusual storyline and great 2 lead actors as Mr and Mrs Bland. A few years later The Coen brothers showed how difficult it can be to kill someone but here one whack with a frying pan (in most cases) does the job. Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov are sublime in this as the naïve couple whom hit on a way to make quick money to buy their dream ambition of a restaurant. They need help from the streetwise dominatrix and the titular Raoul to achieve this. Though a sordid storyline this does not show any graphic violence but some background nudity. The commentary highlights all the cameos from the crew, family and friends including John Landis and the associated problems of a low budget shoot. The booklet comes served up as a menu for the restaurant which is pretty unique. Nice one.

Hmmmmmm

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

Acting: ham just like a low budget porner of the 70s/80s
Plot: Corny and predictable.
Reason to watch: Robert Beltran as Raoul. Every actor whos famous for a good role has got a few skeletal clunkers in the closet and this is one of his.

Watch it. It's as contrived as any of the low budget pornsploitation flicks we watched then to see a bit of bare skinny flesh and its not too bad. If you like Kentucky Fried Movie watch this to see what the real deal rather than the parody was like

RECOMMENDED - to see once "for informations sake" as Samuel Pepys said about "L'escholle de filles" which he had thought to buy for his wife to translate. Look it up. Samivel wasn't above buying a dirty one and burning it after to hide his guilty pleasures

RECOMMENDED

AMAZING

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

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

Excellent filmic transfer captured on this BD

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 29, 2022

Excellent analog-ish looking filmic transfer. Suitable for big screen projections. It will satify all movie buffs, who still know how analog film in movie theatres actually looked, or people who know and love analog photography.

Amusing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was an amusing film, though I don't think it would stand up to a second viewing. A bit like a John Waters film with a plot. Interesting that Mary Woronov, who plays one of the leads, was once one of the Andy Warhol set in his 'Factory'. Actually, she gives a very good performance in this film.
