This is the 11th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival Nights.
After all the serious films in the festival so far, it's refreshing to have a
comedy. Everyone in the cinema was laughing out loud, including me.
The middle-aged couple Marcel and Sophie have been running a butcher's shop
for 20 years. It's relatively successful, but not as successful as the chain
of butcher's shops that belong to their best friends, Marc and Stephanie, who
boast about their grand holidays every year. It's a difference in attitude.
Marcel sells the best possible meat, lovingly prepared. Marc sells meat of
lesser quality, which he can sell cheaply enough to attract more customers.
One evening Marcel's shop is vandalised by vegan activists. They recognise one
of the men, so they run him over when they see him cycling. The best way to
dispose of the body is to cut it up for meat. Sophie is an expert, because she
sits in bed every night watching a series about serial killers.
The new meat, which they call Iranian pork, is so popular that there are
queues in front of their shop. They decide that vegans taste the best, so they
hunt down vegans. It's not easy at first, but killing is like any other
activity: practise makes perfect.
This is the best film I've seen at the festival so far. Maybe it deserves five
stars. I'll let you know when I watch it again.
