This odd film is a major representative of an even odder film genre: direct-to-celluloid opera. It was commissioned by the Portuguese master of style, director Manoel de Oliveira from composer João Paes. Musically, it ranges from 19th-century romanticism to popular, modernist and even "post-modernist" styles. In the initially tame story, a host-narrator tells the story of a wedding between the two lovebirds: Viscount d'Aveleda and the beautiful Marguerite. However, what happens in the bridal chamber is incredibly bizarre. The events after that are even stranger (the film out-does even Luis Buñuel in that department), and the wedding guests and family indulge in cannibalism, among other perversions.

This film is an opera about the romance (and eventual marriage) of a beautiful lady to a rather morose Viscount, while an intensely jealous rival suitor (his name is Don Juan) looks on from the sidelines. On the wedding night, a series of bizarre and grotesque events occur, after which there is a controversy over a well-charred roast – could it be human?

The first hour of the film is rather tedious, as the Director spoofs all the conventions of "grand opera" and costume dramas. The film's narrator serves as a built-in critic at times, providing literary criticism of the story as well. However, the viewer's patience is rewarded, as the sick and savagely funny events occur in the last half-hour.

A few points should be noted. Although the first half is tedious at times, there is some rather corny humor in it to make it endurable. Devoted opera fans may be offended by this film, and the many delightful ways it pokes fun at (and insults) opera conventions. Also, note that some of the humor in the second half is pretty sick. There were times when half the audience was laughing, while the other half was gasping in horror.

Technical merits. The photography is excellent, the period costumes and sets (1700's, "grand opera") are superb, and there is careful attention to detail. The acting is relatively good, considering that it is "opera style" (i.e., exaggerated facial gestures). The production values are very high; this is not a cheap film!

The Cannibals / Os Canibais (1988) [Re-UP]

My overall evaluation of this film: good to very good. Is it worth seeing? This depends on how you feel about opera, and your sense of humor. Can you stand to sit through about 1 hour of opera (low volume, very little of the wailing, shrieking, and bellowing that opera fans call "art") for a half hour of savagely funny humor? Of course, if you like opera, you might like the film's spoofing of opera (i.e., in which case you might like the first hour). I thought it was pretty funny, but I hate opera so much that I resented having to wait so long to get to the good parts! However, this is a film worthy of serious consideration.

When this film was screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival, the Festival's Director spoke, practically begging the audience to "stay for the last 15 minutes. It will be worth it." In fact, the entire film is "worth it." From start to finish, it is an honest and well-crafted surrealist film, indeed in the tradition of Bunuel. It's tone and assault on bourgeois society is reminiscent of "The Exterminating Angel". But while "Angel" gets bleaker and bleaker as it progresses, "Os Canibais" becomes funnier and funnier, until, in the last reel, it explodes in a frenzy of absurdism that would make a devout Dadaist giggle.

The Cannibals / Os Canibais (1988) [Re-UP]

Should it ever resurface, British and American viewers will easily understand that "Os Canibais" is a film 20 years ahead of its time. It is not the Thatcher/Reagan pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps world that "Os Canibais" is lampooning, but the obscene world of the New Rich as personified by those who shop for shoes while one of the world's great cities drowns.
