Anthony Quinn

Eating Raoul (1982)



 

A relatively boring Los Angeles couple discovers a bizarre, if not murderous, way to get funding for opening a restaurant.

Hilarious exercise in bad taste has an Underground Comics feel to it; it's obvious the makers had some fun creating this movie.

Halliwell*: "Black comedy with insufficient humour to offset tastelessness." 

Maltin***1/2: "Delicious black comedy...Sags a littler here and there, but overall a bright, original, hilarious satire; Paragon has a super bit as a sex shop owner."
