Co-writer/director Paul Bartel stars in EATING RAOUL as Paul Bland, who, along with his wife Mary (Mary Woronov), hope to open a little bistro out in the country.
EATING RAOUL is certainly not the most attractive DVD every released by Columbia TriStar, although they really can’t be faulted for how the film looks.
The inexpensive film stock upon which EATING RAOUL was shot hasn’t aged very well, and I don’t remember the film looking any better twenty-plus years ago.

The 1982 low-budget outr comedy EATING RAOUL from writer/director Paul Bartel, who also stars, is an outrageously funny satire that needles such diverse elements of American culture as the concept of The American Dream, high-society status symbols, overzealous capitalism, racial stereotyping, and sexually deviant subgroups.
Yes, EATING RAOUL jumps back and forth across the line that divides mainstream comedy from avant-garde satire, especially by the standards of the era in which it was originally released.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Eating Raoul   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Paul Bartel's indie fl comedy Eating Raoul (1982) made a little splash when its release coincided with the advent of home video, a time when cult movies were delivered from college and midnight venues to a larger audience.
Satirically condemning the "depravity" of Hollywood, Eating Raoul stars Bartel as Paul Bland, a snobbish, down-on-his-luck wine aficionado who, with his wife Mary (the always transsexual-looking Mary Woronov), dreams of opening a fine restaurant.
What Eating Raoul lacks in its prosaic execution is mostly mitigated by the strength of its concept.

That being said, Eating Raoul the musical is supposed to be a hoot.
The movie was set in the early 1980s; for "fun" Bartel pushed the musical back to the mid 1960s to avoid the AIDS era and to underscore the swinger phenomenon.

The genre of fl comedy is sometimes a little tough to define, but like pornography I know it when I see it.
Raoul not only cuts himself in on a piece of the action, but has designs on Mary.
Despite the lurid subject matter, ranging from sadomasochism and golden showers to murder for profit to cannibalism, Eating Raoul has an unmistakable innocence to it; the leads are completely deadpan, as is Donna the Dominatrix (Susan Saiger), who helps them get started in the sex industry.

Featuring Bartel himself and his frequent B-queen, Woronov, as the Blands, innocently stranded amid the hedonist detritus of LA, dreaming (like their Hollywood forebears, the Blandings) of rural retreat, Paul and Mary's Country Kitchen.
And dreaming vainly, until 'accidental' homicide propels them into a scheme to exploit carnal as well as culinary appetites, luring disposable perverts to a deadpan doom with the haphazard help and hindrance of such figures as Doris the Dominatrix and Hispanic hustler Raoul.
The style stays straight-faced, the more to crease ours with the disparity between sick joke frenetics and a gentle, unruffled sitcom sensibility.
