For those wondering who he is, he would be the cannibal in Germany that posted an internet ad looking for someone to eat. A man responded who wanted to be eaten, as well as wanting to eat his own penis prior to death. Even though they filmed it, and it showed the 'victim' stating this was his wish, the court found Mr Meiwes guilty of murder and he is currently serving life in prison.
Anyways, as opposed to many "loosely based on real events" movies out there, Grimm Love is SO based on reality that it is banned in Germany, for infringing on Mr Meiwes' privacy. Yes, I know, I am sick and twisted....but oh well. I LOVE movies like this.
There was also a very graphic non-fiction book written about this case:
