My thoughts immediately went to Monty Python (“ergh! With a gammy leg?”) at the thought of biting his penis after anal sex but hey, call me old fashioned. They curl up on the floor together and, when they awake, the Flesh demands the Man bite off his penis. Isn’t cannibalism supposed to be about dominance? It’s an interesting conflict.

There’s a lot of plinky-plonky music and sex scenes which drag on interminably, and end with the Flesh anally penetrating the Man. They’re going to have sex, one of them is going to eat the other, but first, a nice cuppa tea. Literally – one of those movies where it’s hard to see what the hell is going on.

Once they enter the house, the movie becomes very dark. Seems to me to be a bit of a misunderstanding of how the alimentary system works. Then after a game of petanque and some sweaty sex, the Flesh won’t feel a thing. Yeah, no probs, mate the Man stops on the way home from picking up the Flesh at the railway station to buy some schnapps and some cough medicine. The Man finally meets the Flesh, who introduces himself, He even meets up with a couple of kids, not presumably through the web, but seems to prefer his meat aged and consensual. The woman might have been ready, but he writes, “Women are too important for the survival of mankind.” Pretty much how the dairy and egg industries operate, when they sex the calves and chicks and immediately kill the males.

We see the Man having a series of meetings with a bunch of guys (and one woman) he has contacted on internet chats, all of whom turn out to be not that serious about going through with the whole, you know, kill me and eat me thing. We then Get To See A Selection Of The Man’s preferred reading matter: cannibal art by Hieronymus Bosch and Hans Staden, books on Jeffrey Dahmer, and some interesting texts on anatomy and butchering, which he will find handy later. There is very little dialogue, except for the Man’s mother reading him Hansel and Gretel at the beginning (when he was presumably called the Boy), presumably turning him into a cannibal (didn’t that happen to everyone who read the Brothers Grimm?) Meiwes and Brandes are not named in this film – the eater is just called “The Man” and the eaten “The Flesh”. This was also called Cannibal at first, then changed to Diary of a Cannibal, and has graced the “Bottom 100” lists of Yahoo and IMDB ever since. Lommel went on to make his own version of the Meiwes story, with the protagonist changed to female for some reason. Really? Too rich for Ulli Lommel, whose grisly bio of Fritz Haarmann we reviewed earlier this year? Well, that’s promising. This film was assigned to Dora by Lommel, but proved too rich for Lommel’s taste, and Dora ended up releasing it himself, direct to video. He then went on to work with Ulli Lommel on a number of crime/slasher films. Probably for good reason – his first two releases were included in anthologies of short films named Blue Snuff 1 and Blue Snuff 2, the latter of which was withdrawn due to its extremely graphic content. Marian Dora is a pseudonym used by a film-maker whose real name is shrouded in mystery. The Australian comedy Rake also did a great simplified version of it with the wonderful Hugo Weaving as both an economics professor and a cannibal (which is more terrifying?). The documentary Copycat Killer covered the famous case with lots of dramatic music and comparisons to Hannibal Lecter, which was absurd. We’ve met Meiwes in a couple of earlier blogs: in Grimm Love an American researcher (Keri Russell) searches for the videotape and then freaks out when she gets hold of it.

Unlike most crime re-enactments, this one was easy to research, because Meiwes videotaped most of the killing, butchering and eating of Brandes.
He advertised on the Internet for a man who was willing to be killed and eaten, and ended up doing both of those things to an engineer named Bernd Jürgen Brandes whose greatest desire was to be eaten. Meiwes was a German computer technician who was into “ vorarephilia” (sexual attraction to eating, or being eaten by, another).

Cannibal was the directorial debut of the German director Marian Dora in 2006, and is basically a re-enactment of the famous case of Armin Meiwes (pronounced like the Sinatra song “I did it my way”), the so-called ‘ Rotenburg Cannibal’.
