WE ARE WHAT WE ARE (2010) movie review

We Are What We Are (2010) d. Grau, Jorge Michel (Mexico)

Intriguing ideas-a-go-go but with more questions raised than answers in this kitchen sink drama surrounding an urban family of cannibals whose lives are thrown into turmoil when their patriarch keels over in the opening scenes, leaving them without a bread-winner (or fresh meat-procurer). All of the characters are interesting unto themselves and the relationships provide chewy material, but it’s both too much and too little for the central story.

Fantasia – Day 12 (Monday, July 30)

A dozen days in. Playing the back nine, as they say...

Yesterday was unique among my experiences thus far, in that it involved venturing outside the five-block radius of Montreal I’ve been occupying for the last two weeks. Following my interview with the gentlemen of The Human Race (co-stars Paul McCarthy-Boyington and Eddie McGee, writer/director Paul Hough and co-producer Trip Hope), they invited me to tag along on a visit to On Set Stunts , a Montreal stunt team’s workout space. Hey, who’s going to pass an offer like that up?
