Cast

Production

Despite being a Swedish-language film, the screenplay for Duet for Cannibals was written in English by Sontag, who described herself as not being "competent" in Swedish.[4] It was then translated into Swedish for the Swedish actors.[4]

Reception

Kevin Kelly of The Boston Globe described the film as "virtually devoid of any real dramatic sensibility [...] The film is unbelievable either as black parable or self-consciously disciplined pap."[5] Richard Roud of The Guardian praised its casting and the "richness of possible interpretations of the film", concluding: "Its originality of texture, its degree of visual invention, is remarkable, and not only for a first film. In short, Duet for Cannibals is a stunning achievement."[6]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 80% based on five reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10.[7]

In 2019, Slant MagazineШаблон:'s Jesse Cataldo gave the film a score of three out of four stars, concluding: "An interesting, if tonally inconsistent, experiment, it serves as an intriguing cinematic extension of its maker's more well-known written work."[2]
