Country: IT
Technical: col 95m
Director: Ruggero Deodato
Cast: Francesca Ciardi, Luca Barbareschi
Synopsis:
A film crew sets out to uncover traces of a group of anthropologists who were themselves researching cannibalism among 'savages'.
Review:
A posturing subtext involving the cannibalistic nature of filmed reportage fails to disguise the exploitative nature of this venture. Its efficiently grisly realisation of the demise of the true savages - the documentarians - earnt it a place on HM police's hit list of 'video nasties'.
