Title: La Grande bouffe

Has anyone seen this movie? It's directed by Marco Ferreri and it caused a stir when it was released in theatres back in 1973. The plot is mainly about four guys who drive out to a house where they eat themselves to death. Nice. Here's the DVD cover:

Sounds like my kinda thing.  I'll see if Netfilx has it....

BTW, is it anything like The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover?  Or does TCTTHWAHL pay homage to it in any way?
