Review
Another one of these films that sort of creep up on you with innocent images at first (family eating dinner) then gets REALLY graphic. Fellow readers may have noticed on some film reviews (and if you had, you're uh, really on the ball!) I've moaned that some cow and beef films seem to skip the slaughterhouse scenes. Not this one. This film, which focuses on meat inspectors, takes us from the just killed cow, examining the head (ugh) the viscera (double ugh) and other charming parts of the cow's anatomy. Although doing a great service, I have NO idea who this movie was made for. Not for the Saturday afternoon matinee, that's for sure. Strictly for those people who like their meat dishes as big as the family seem to have on their table later on in the film.
