Sophie and Vincent have run the family butcher shop for a decade, but business is bad. So bad that it's on the brink of bankruptcy and so is their marriage. Yet what turns things around? When Vincent kills a vegan activist who had vandalized their business. And when he butchers the body and his wife accidentally sells it and customers can't stop lining up and the two fall in love again, who is to say that some murder and cannibalism can be bad things?
So yeah -- Sophie only cares about serial killer shows and Vincent only cares about their dog Chubster and by the end, well, their marriage of thirty years feels as fresh as that new cut they have in the case.
Get ready for plenty of the blackest of the black humor, as vegan hunting becomes the couple's new sport. And people find that new special pig, that artisanal taste, so exquisite. Now, this is no Eating Raoul -- what is -- but I had fun watching it.
The French Some Like It Rare -- known as Barbaque in their country -- isn't streaming yet in the U. S. outside of Fantastic Fest. If you like some dark humor, keep your eye out for this one.

Synopsis
Pascal and his wife Sophie have been running a small local butcher's shop for about twenty years. Sophie stands with great love for her customers at the cash register and Vincent cuts the carefully selected meat with just as much love. And they lived happily ever after, you might think. But then, as is the case with many small tradesmen, business went downhill and so did their relationship. After almost 30 years of marriage, the marriage bed is as alive as the sausages in the counter. Mutual irritation hinders any form of dialogue. Love, business - nothing works out, so Sophie seeks refuge in her great passion: TV shows about serial killers. Vincent unleashes all his love on Pépère, his gentle rottweiler. —Jakkepoes

The best comedy of the year
I've watched it at MOTEL X Film Festival and I felt surprised about this French movie.
The plot would be so disturbing if was just a serious drama. Some Like It Rare knows how to transform the disturbing and gruesome elements in comedy.
I've never laughed so much in a movie theater like when I was watching this movie. It's full of funny scenes and the humour always work... Except if you don't like dark humour, because in that case, Some Like it Rare isn't for you.
The only problem is the ending. It finishes too fast. I think would be so much better if they added a couple of scenes before the ending.
Warning
Really very well done with comic quid pro quos and very funny dialogues but extremely black and gory humor. Some scenes can be very disturbing for sensitive people. It seems to have been made by French people especially for French people and not for American prudes. If you don't like it, definitely don't go see it and don't comment. You have been warned.
