I like my movies RAW

It can get depressing, being a cinephile. (Or, as I prefer to call myself and folks of a similar fascination with celluloid, “cinepheliacs.” It sounds more ominous, doncha think? I propose that “cinepheliac” become the official designation for a cinephile who loves Horror films in particular.) I go see a lot of movies, yet right now, and for the next couple’a three weeks, there is a dearth of films at the box office for me. Everything I want to see, I’ve already seen. More than once, in some cases. Meanwhile, there’s a growing list of movies I REALLY wanna see, but I have to wait for them to get released on video. Either they are straight to video releases or else they get a limited theatrical run, and limited films rarely come to any of the movie houses anywhere close to where I reside. It’s all so unfair.

At the top of my list right now, those films I eagerly await as they complete their runs at the various film festivals, is RAW. It’s the story of a veterinary school student named Justine who’s never in her life eaten meat. AS so often happens to young folks away from home for the first time, she is led into “experimentation” with an alternate lifestyle; yes, she tries meat for the first time. That first bite is a doozy, though, as her appetite becomes insatiable, and eventually leads to cannibalism. It sounds hilarious and bizarre and it’s getting freakishly good reviews. It SHOULD be in theaters, where it can be enjoyed by the vulgar masses. Ah, well. I suppose the anticipation makes the eventual payoff all the sweeter. I hope so.
