Eating Raoul was celebrated at the time of its release as the perfect marriage between mainstream moviemaking and the so-called "underground" cinema. Cult-film icons
Mary Woronov and
Paul Bartel (both of whom directed) play a married couple who decide to cash in on the sexual perversions of others. Posing as a hooker,
Woronov lures the "johns" in and indulges their every kinky whim, whereupon
Bartel kills the unwary client, steals the valuables, and sells the corpse for dog food. Though they see nothing wrong in what
they're doing, they react in prudish disgust at the sexual preferences of their victims. Eventually, Raoul (
Robert Beltran), the fellow who transports the corpses to the dog food concern, proves expendable--and extremely edible.
Eating Raoul features a high-powered comic supporting cast, among them
Buck Henry,
Ed Begley Jr.,
Richard Paul,
Hamilton Camp, and
Edie McClurg.
