20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2022
2. Maren Eats Lee - Bones & All
Luca Guadagnino's mesmerising cannibal romance Bones and All follows two young "eaters," Maren (Taylor Russell) and Lee (Timothée Chalamet), as they hit the road and travel across the U.S.
Their story has an unsurprisingly tragic ending, though, when they face off against a deranged fellow eater, Sully (Mark Rylance), who has been pursuing Maren for basically the entire movie.
The pair manage to subdue and kill Sully after he breaks into their apartment, but Lee is mortally wounded in the process.
In his dying moments, Lee insists that Maren eat him, "bones and all," an act which earlier in the movie is described as the ultimate euphoric experience for a cannibal.
Though initially reluctant, Maren ultimately agrees as her hunger takes over, and though we don't see her consume the entirety of Lee's body, the implication is indeed that she left nothing behind.
Set to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' stunning musical score, it's an undeniably disturbing sequence yet also a strangely tender, even loving one, too. Lee, as he died, he couldn't imagine anything more fitting than his lover consuming every part of him.
