Tarrare

About This Movie

Tarrare is quite a curious piece. Set in eighteenth-century France, it drips with a grim atmosphere that pulls you right into the unsettling world of this peculiar showman. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as we follow Tarrare's bizarre appetite and the chilling events that unfold in the hospital. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that really heightens the horror—gritty and close to reality. The performances are compelling, especially the lead, whose embodiment of Tarrare is haunting. It raises questions about society's treatment of the 'other' and explores the dark side of human obsession. Definitely a unique entry into the horror genre, with a distinct narrative style that leaves an impression.
