The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover
This is one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. The plot consists of a guy who owns a restaurant. He is a huge asshole and is mad loud and obnoxious and is all abusive to his wife. He tries to rape her in front of some kid and does all this other shit to embarrass her in front of people. Anyway, she notices a man who eats at the restaurant every day and she starts up an affair with him. They have sex all over the restaurant, right under her husband's nose. When he finds out, he flips out and goes on a rampage, tearing off a kid's belly button and all this crap and swearing that he is gonna kill his wife's lover and then eat him.
The movie is so messed up. A lot of people call it "disturbing" and "disgusting". It is pretty much. It's a real dark, nasty movie. Really weird and pretty funny. It does get slow at times though, so I dunno. I wouldn't watch it again, but if you are in the mood for a movie like that, go for it. It's worth watching once at least. Rated NC-17.
Fat Ebert gave it 4 stars.
