Full Plot Details

In 1981, young Issei Sagawa of Japan murdered a Dutch student in Paris and ate part of his body. Declared mentally ill, he did not face a normal trial, and after spending two years in a French clinic, he returned to Japan. There he wrote a book, published a manga about his crime and even appeared in pornography. In an attempt to unravel the dark motives that led him to cannibalism, the anthropologists and film-makers Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor perform in 'Caniba', their third full-length film, an atypical and sensory portrait of Sagawa, who more than thirty-five years after the events in Paris, lives suffering a paralysis that keeps him partially immobilized.

Movie Reviews

CineVue - 10/10 by Christopher MachellCaniba offers no trite explanations or condemnations of Sagawa. Instead, we are offered a small window into his reality.
4:3 - 9/10 by Kenta McGrathThe film is content to depict Sagawa's morbid fascinations in a bold and unconventional way, rather than question its own; it's easier to feel and sense than to try to understand.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzA weirdo documentary based on a true story of modern-day cannibalism.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Peter GoldbergThroughout Caniba, there's a singularly disquieting relationship between the filmmakers' formal experimentation and their subject.
NOW Toronto - 8/10 by Kevin RitchieCaniba is a cinematic rarity for a number of reasons, but most of all because it examines the topic in a modern context and with a formalism as extreme as its subject.
New York Times - 8/10 by Glenn KennyI consider Sagawa repellent, and the movie an exercise in intellectualized scab-picking.
Bangkok Post - 8/10 by Kong RithdeeOne of the hardest films to watch this year, Caniba is also an intense and strangely engaging experience where art, life, horror and film intersect and move as one.
The Daily Beast - 8/10 by Richard PortonCaniba, like most avant-garde films, refuses to be reductive and, to the frustration of many critics and audience members, leaves definitive interpretations up to the audience.
Cinema Scope - 8/10 by Dan SullivanCaniba may be tough to take in, but you'd have a difficult time finding another film that contains this much fascinating and terrible humanity.
Film Inquiry - 8/10 by Tomas TrussowConfrontational cinema is an understatement when it comes to Caniba; it's more disturbing than any run-of-the-mill documentary about Sagawa to date.
