Plot – Spoilers:
A butcher living, as he calls it, in the bowels of France is out of jail and out of work. A once-independent man with his his own shop, he’s now dependent on a woman he can’t stand, but who’s pregnant with his kid.
He walks the lifeless streets rambling to himself thoughts of hate, emptiness and cynicism about traditional values. The only time we see life around him is when he actually interacts with another person.
The butcher is a very entertaining and interesting person – he isn’t one of those characters who drones bullshit, often making for boring viewing. Instead, he reflects his state and knows his place – in the bowels.

Noe’s best film. Fucking brutal. Try and find his condom advert thats way too long and got banned in several plaaces
god, fuck me
so many great french films but not this one – i may stand alone with this opinion
Pathetic pre teen faggots,gutless cowards spamming & crying is all you do,wind them up & let them go,I really get under your skin,your troll game is weak,I rule the comments & you are 12 year old bitches
Hey Zed, my sweet little snookums. This movie is sweet as fuck, mate. What do you say you and I get a hotel room soon and toss some salad? Call me soon Zed, my little dreamboat. G’day mate.
I like the part where he screws his daughter
what is with the ending? the movie itself was not too bad and entertaining
My favourite Gaspar Noe movie (recommend “Climax” as well). Very brutal and bleak, you feel dragged into Butcher’s hopelessness and descend to insanity. A masterpiece
Well the narrator and I have similar thoughts about depression/nihilism. But seriously the close ups with the bang noise.. and that cringey warning.. wtf
Incredible movie.
Noe is in my top 5 favorite film makers. Utter despair are the only words that come to mind when describing this one. IMO this is one of the most effed up movies on here. Blood and guts cant compare to this portrait of a man with complete disgust for himself, and the world around him. Well done.
masterpiece
Bleak and depressing but powerful portrayal of a man on the edge. Not really gory until the end scene, which was heartbreaking, this is a movie that fucks with your mind with its grittiness. Great acting by the protagonist and direction was tight. Nice one EUM, Merry Xmas to all the guys at admin. Cheers!
This brilliant movie Pretty good shows fucked up state of a mind of a man with huge amount of anger, disappointment and hatred towards society, system and rich basterds. The only issue was reading endless subtitles and trying to watch the movie in the mean time. Somehow I feel his pain and suffering since Its really a fucked up world.
