Summary/Abstract: The text focuses on the movie Grimm Love, directed by Martin Weisz. The plot is based on a true story of Armin Meiwes, a man from Germany who killed and ate his lover. In Weisz’s film the main character is portrayed as a tragic figure and the history may be read as a metaphor of the ultimate transgresion. The „consumption” of the body has both literal and symbolic meanings.
