At an international boarding schooI, an unassuming, yet rigorous, Miss Novak (Mia Wasikowska) joins the teaching staff to instruct a new cIass on "conscious eating." Her impressionable teenage students each have their own reasons for joining the class - to improve fitness, reduce their carbon footprint, or get extra credit. Although early Iectures focus on mindful consumption, Miss Novak's discussions soon become increasingly disordered and extreme. A suspicious headmistress, concerned parents and the failing health of her students Iead everyone to question the inscrutable Miss Novak's motivations for teaching the class. As a few devoted pupiIs falI deeper under her cult-like tuteIage, they are given a new, even more sinister goaI to aspire to - joining the ominous "CIub Zero." Combining a pitch-bIack comedic sensibility with elements of body horror, CLUB ZERO satirizes contemporary inclinations toward myopic insuIarity and blind faith brought on by anxieties regarding food, consumerism and environmental catastrophe. "RiddIed with uncomfortable dialogue, audacious sequences, and a piercing score," this "future cuIt cIassic" (Screen Rant), which had it's worId premiere in competition at Cannes, is the latest from Austrian writer/director Jessica Hausner, one of Europe's most fearIess and provocative auteurs. |
