Synopsis
Some Like It Rare (Barbaque, 2021) is a French horror-comedy written, directed and co-starring Fabrice Eboué — watch it online on iFILM. It pairs a struggling butcher shop with a particularly dark solution to the problem of vegan vandalism.
Vincent and Sophie's small butcher shop is losing money and their marriage is losing steam. After activists smash the front window, Sophie is ready to walk out on both. Then Vincent, driving home from a dinner party, recognises one of the culprits on a bicycle and hits him. Accidentally, mostly. Sophie — an enthusiastic consumer of true-crime documentaries — is far more composed about what happens next than her husband expects. The body goes into the production cycle. The new product sells out by morning.
Eboué keeps the escalation rational. Vincent and Sophie aren't monsters — they're a couple who've found an accidental competitive advantage and aren't sure where to stop. Marina Foïs plays Sophie with a cheerful pragmatism that makes the whole thing funnier and more unsettling than it has any right to be. Stream Some Like It Rare (2021) full movie online on iFILM.
