Like Big Meat Eater and Texas Chainsaw Massacre before it, this is a paean to vegetarianism. This is a dystopian science-fiction movie of which the Demon Barber of Fleet Street would approve as a shortage of meat for the butcher creates a market to satisfy the cravings of anthropophagous carnivores.
This is visually interesting but thematically weak – Terry GILLIAM with a touch of Russ MEYER. Despite the high quality actors on show, they are in the grip of the general, all round weirdness and can make little headway with deepening their characterizations beyond the trite. Nevertheless, as a love story of the possibility of escape from poor parenting into a world of happiness and fulfillment it just about makes sense.
