Carlos is the most prestigious tailor in Granada, but he's also a serial killer in the shadows. His secretive routines are interrupted when two women -- Alexandra and her twin sister Nina -- cross his path, awakening Carlos to new feelings of love in this dark psychological thriller.
When a filmmaker is capable of exploring a series of frankly outlandish filmic, thematic and moral propositions with absolute conviction and sureness of touch, the results are usually memorable. Such is the case with Manuel Martin Cuenca’s Cannibal.

As Cannibal progresses it becomes both more traditional in its narrative and frustrating in its lack of depth.
It keeps us at a remove that becomes telling of the filmmaker's reticence to explore whatever feelings of isolation and yearning may inform his main character's grisly compulsion.
Because little happens story-wise, Cannibal necessarily functions as a character study, but one that’s frustratingly short on character.
The film’s slow deliberation and aesthetic rigor act as a form of seduction, luring the viewer into unwilling identification with Carlos.
