The movie already has a lot of titles - I wouldn't be surprised if it gets this one too somewhere (hey pass on some money if you use that! Just saying). Kidding aside - well not entirely, because the movie thrives on humor. Dark humor, but humor nonetheless. And is built on broken and fragile relationships.
The director is also the main actor in this. And while he had an even funnier hairstyle in the video message he sent to the filmfest I attended, he still looks funny and trustworthy. Which of course is a great contradiction to all the terrible things that he is "forced" to do.
If you are easily offended and triggered the movie may not be for you. The movie also says a lot about us as a society. The way we treat each other - there are a few themes hidden inside the movie that it explores quite nicely.
Plot summary
Pascal and his wife Sophie have been running a small local butcher's shop for about twenty years. Sophie stands with great love for her customers at the cash register and Vincent cuts the carefully selected meat with just as much love. And they lived happily ever after, you might think. But then, as is the case with many small tradesmen, business went downhill and so did their relationship. After almost 30 years of marriage, the marriage bed is as alive as the sausages in the counter. Mutual irritation hinders any form of dialogue. Love, business - nothing works out, so Sophie seeks refuge in her great passion: TV shows about serial killers. Vincent unleashes all his love on Pépère, his gentle rottweiler/pitbull.

Nice to meat you
what a disappointment...
I always try to watch all French horrors , because they have an unusual ,realistic and dark style. Some of my favorites are films from France. Unfortunately , this one is an absolute dud...Nothing even to tell about...
Dak humored
Sophie and Vincent have run the family butcher shop for a decade, but business is bad. So bad that it's on the brink of bankruptcy and so is their marriage. Yet what turns things around? When Vincent kills a vegan activist who had vandalized their business. And when he butchers the body and his wife accidentally sells it and customers can't stop lining up and the two fall in love again, who is to say that some murder and cannibalism can be bad things?
So yeah -- Sophie only cares about serial killer shows and Vincent only cares about their dog Chubster and by the end, well, their marriage of thirty years feels as fresh as that new cut they have in the case.
Get ready for plenty of the blackest of the black humor, as vegan hunting becomes the couple's new sport. And people find that new special pig, that artisanal taste, so exquisite. Now, this is no Eating Raoul -- what is -- but I had fun watching it.
The French Some Like It Rare -- known as Barbaque in their country -- isn't streaming yet in the U. S. outside of Fantastic Fest. If you like some dark humor, keep your eye out for this one.
