The Cannibal That Walked Free is this unsettling documentary that really delves into the mind of Issei Sagawa, a figure you can't help but be intrigued by. The film's tone is chilling yet oddly captivating, balancing between the grotesque and the absurdity of his so-called celebrity. Pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it keeps you glued to the screen, almost compelled to understand how someone could become a cultural oddity. There’s a rawness to the production, with practical effects that, while minimal, add to the stark reality of Sagawa's life. The interviews feel intimate, and you really get a sense of the bizarre psychology at play. It's not just about cannibalism; it's about fame and the strange human psyche. Quite distinctive, for sure.
