Satire bites deep in The Cannibal Club (O clube dos canibais), a nicely nasty caricature of Brazil's ultra-decadent, ultra-wealthy from noteworthy up-and-comer Guto Parente. One of two films from the writer-director bowing at Rotterdam this year, it's in nearly every regard a world away from his tenderly scuzzy chronicle of cash-strapped low-lifes co-directed with Pedro Diogenes, My Own Private Hell.
A slickly mounted widescreen affair that looks and sounds suitably opulent throughout, The Cannibal Club seems designed not only to titillate programmers and aficionados of horror/cult-oriented festivals but also to snag possible Hollywood attention. Indeed,...

"Every film festival, be it small or large, claims to offer, if not an account of the state of things, then an updated map of the art form and the world it seeks to represent. This cartography should show both the major routes and the byways, along with essential places to visit and those that are more unusual. The Festival del film Locarno is no exception to the rule, and I think that looking through the program you will be able to distinguish the route map for this edition." — Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director
