Real-Life Cannibal Case To Become a Movie


Plans to produce a motion picture based on the lurid case in which a man killed and ate another man, a willing victim, have touched off outrage in Germany, where the case occurred. German director Rosa von Praunheim, an openly gay director whose provocative films include a 1999 "cannibal comedy" called Can I Be Your Bratwurst, Please?, told the tabloid Bild Zeitung that he was fascinated by the case of computer technician Armin Meiwes, who posted an ad on the Internet in 2001 looking for a man willing to be killed and eaten. Bernd Juergen Brandes turned out to be the man. Meiwes is now serving an eight-year sentence for the crime. Von Praunheim's film is called Your Heart in My Head, something that Axel Wintermeyer, a member of the parliament in the state of Hesse, described as "hard to beat for tastelessness." He condemned the project as "a monument to a perverted criminal" and expressed particular anger over the fact that he film was being backed in part by funding from the North Rhine-Westphalia film institute. However, Reinhard Boeckh, spokesman for the North Rhine-Westphalia government, said that it was "arguable" that the film would glorify Meiwes. "It all depends how it's done," he said.

Brandes visited Meiwes' home in March 2001 for the express purpose of being killed and eaten, according to statements from Meiwes and police and media accounts of a videotape of the killing. The two dined on part of Brandes' body together before Meiwes stabbed him to death, according to court testimony.

was it you?

Okay - I think this this thread should be next to the midnight snack thread

I read about this somewhere else and it almost made me ill. HELLO what the hell is this world coming to. I guess I will just have to lock myself in my house

A couple of friends told me this story while we were having dinner. I almost threw up on my plate!

I wonder which bit they dined on together? Did they cook it first? Do you think they used some form of anasthetic or how could he enjoy the meal if he was in pain? My mind is boggling
