It is brave, courageous, sick and funny: EATING RAOUL

Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 86%. The website's critics consensus for the film reads: "Eating Raoul serves up its spectacular lurid tale of pitch-black humor and anarchic vigor."

Eating Raoul is a 1982 American black comedy film written, directed by and starring Paul Bartel with Mary Woronov, Robert Beltran, Ed Begley Jr., Buck Henry, and Susan Saiger. It is about a prudish married couple (Bartel and Woronov) who resort to killing and robbing affluent swingers to earn money for their dream restaurant.

The writers commissioned a single-issue comic book based on the film for promotion; it was created by underground comix creator Kim Deitch.

MARY WORONOV:

I say "Eating Raoul" (1982), and you say...

"That’s my favorite movie. Every part of that movie, I was allowed to do whatever I wanted. At one point in the movie, Paul (Bartel) goes to bed with a bottle of wine. I said to the crew, 'Guys, what am I, chopped liver? I want toys!' And we were filming in a house that was somebody else’s, but they ran around the house to look for toys and got me all those toys to sleep with."

"The crew was working for nothing, practically. In fact, they were working for nothing. The script was okay. You know, it was bizarre. But everybody just did everything because they loved the turn that the movie was taking. It was funny, but it was really, really scary. But it was also comical and funny. And I love the combination of that. You know, (Bartel) shot 21 days of film, but it took him a year to do it. He’d call me up and go, 'Mary, I want to shoot this next scene,' and it’d be the first time I’d heard from him in two months. But you’d just walk onto the set, and there it was. It was like a living thing. "
