Review of The Green Butchers (2003) by Hamad S — 30 Dec 2007
In the spirit of Delicatessen and The Last Supper, The Green Butchers is more about family and less about politics or horror, unlike its French and Japanese counterparts, respectively. As the protagonists explore the entrepreneurial world of meat-supply, an accidental freezer-lock-up leads to more customers, popularity, a sense of belonging and more missing people.
The madness of Svend is palpable but also forgivable; Bjarne's quite composure is only broken by the situation spiraling too close to home leading to the unraveling of the true 'secret ingredient'.
Humorous at times, but nothing special.
