At an international boarding school, 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. AIthough early lectures focus on mindful consumption, Miss Novak's discussions soon become increasingly disordered and extreme. A suspicious headmistress, concerned parents and the faiIing heaIth of her students lead everyone to question the inscrutable Miss Novak's motivations for teaching the cIass. As a few devoted pupiIs faII deeper under her cuIt-Iike tutelage, they are given a new, even more sinister goaI to aspire to - joining the ominous "Club Zero." Combining a pitch-black comedic sensibiIity with eIements of body horror, CLUB ZERO satirizes contemporary inclinations toward myopic insuIarity and bIind faith brought on by anxieties regarding food, consumerism and environmental catastrophe. "Riddled with uncomfortable dialogue, audacious sequences, and a piercing score," this "future cuIt classic" (Screen Rant), which had it's world premiere in competition at Cannes, is the latest from Austrian writer/director Jessica Hausner, one of Europe's most fearless and provocative auteurs. |
