Caníbal

This is an incredible story that you can't miss if you like movies with deep emotions that will make you tremble about the idea of love and death. The actors are mysterious and the story starts with very surprising images that will make you be prepare to close your eyes for anything that could lead you a possible trauma, but nothing happen but stunning takes and surprising twists. The photography is amazing and you can't take your eyes out of the screen enjoying the views. Initially, the main character is cold and it can feel quite intimidating. But while the story keeps running forwards, you can feel even like you where in their skins. The passion between the characters may not be seen at first, but it's obvious at the end, and it can make you even cry of despair. The loneliness in this movie is very important and without it the film would be meaningless. The emotions of the people involve are represented in beautiful takes. There's few sounds of music in the background but this makes the movie more dark and realistic. This movie explain despair and the possession of the body with the most original way that you can imagine.

"Cannibal" summons to mind vague storyline similarities with Patrice Leconte's moody 1990 film "Monsieur Hire" and James Hamilton- Paterson's roman a clef "Loving Monsters."

Protagonist Carlos is a revered tailor in Granada, Spain, who murders and cannibalizes beautiful young women, and ostensibly does so in a way unencumbered by sadism or sexuality. His monotonic cannibalism is never explained, and left as metaphorical vehicle. Horror is not on offer here, and viewers are left free to imbue Carlos's predilection with personal meaning: in other ways, Carlos is fair, just, and honorable. Do even the very best among us have equally abhorrent gaping erroneous zones?

Romanian actress Olimpia Melinte's fresh-faced, highly-abled and confident screen presence work well in two roles here. Mise en scene, vistas and pacing are lovely, and the languid takes, the confident exposition, the story's ability to achieve both enormity and enormousness with an economy of lines and set-ups, make "Cannibal" well worth immersing in.

A simple story created by inspired storytelling, admirable performance, high minimalism and the gray atmosphere of a car accident and presumed first help, a fridge and the meat contained by it, a tailor shop and the day between good morning and good evening, a neighbor and the help for her and a silent dinner. The ordinary evil can be the first definition. But the film represents more and the seductive end is the basic proof about impeccable gem.

Very good movie. Strong and deep acting of Antonio de la Torre. As usual. A very good script, very artistic and disturbingly aesthetic. Because there is not a lot of things going on story wise it seems like a psychological study of the character. You are almost wanting this monstrous man to get away with what he does and ultimately find happiness. You are going to be rooting for a sociopath.... For a psychopath. Very intriguing about the Human nature and behavior...
