The green inferno full movie 20136/20/2023 ![]() ![]() A lecture on female genital mutilation serves as both an opportunity for exposition and a portent. "I didn't say he was a drug dealer." There are expectations here, and some subversions, but also a poop joke. ![]() To paraphrase a conversation in the small plane that contributes much to the film, "just because he's Latin and has money doesn't mean that he's a drug dealer". The final girl is painted white at one point, but there's a chance that this is risky playfulness. The villagers are played by genuine natives, but they are painted red, and black, and yellow. There's a character whose sole function seems to be to be our protagonist's bitchy flatmate, who delivers a line near the start that later seems like exculpatory exposition - "I can say that, I'm Jewish". This is the latest installment of Eli Roth's continuing war on foreign travel, a film that manages to simultaneously be a loving and ludic homage to the cannibal horror genre and a massively problematic trample through gender studies and post-colonialism.
