movie review - Eat The Rich

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 1998.09.09

This is a grim comedy about the plight of the poor, down-trodden masses and what happens when they've finally had enough and decide to start grinding up the rich and serving them to each other. I first saw this on TV of all place, late one night when alone in early 1990. I came across a copy in a rental place much to my delight and gave it another watch. With a stellar cast, a servicable plot, and a sound-track from Motörhead, and actually Lemmy from Mot́́örhead, who can complain?

Would you like to join our people's uprising?

Strongly recommended.
