THE CANNIBAL CLUB (O CLUBE DOS CANIBAIS): Trailer Brazilian Cannibal Comedy

Otavio and Gilda are a very wealthy couple of the Brazilian elite who have the habit of eating their employees. Otavio owns a private security company and is a notable member of The Cannibal Club. When Gilda accidentally discovers a secret from Borges, a powerful congressman and the Club’s leader, her and his husband’s life are in danger. 

... For me the film is an investigation on the cynicism of the Brazilian elite and how far can they take it. As well as a reflection on the role men insists on playing in society to prove their virility and maintain their power. Things I consider important to think about and to discuss. After (or during) the fun, the thinking. That's what I'm looking for.

 

... I was interested to look deep into the horror that is embedded in our society behavior, not focusing on the explicit violence itself, the realistic violence, but more on the violence of the speech and thinking of those who truly believe they are above of everything and everyone because they have money and power. The genre comes to me as a possibility to step away from this real world violence, create an absurd reality based on its violence and archetypes and from that maybe offer to the spectator a safe distance to look and think about what they are seeing and how it is possible for them to create parallels between all that madness and their own realities.
