Flux Gourmet

Continuing his peculiar brand of kink-filled art-cinema, director Peter Strickland’s latest dark comedy depicts a performance art trio participating in an artist residency at the Sonic Catering Institute. Narrated in Greek by the institute’s in-house writer (who is having severe bowel problems), and provoked by an imperious curator (Gwendoline Christie), the group’s interpersonal strife leads them to increasingly extreme acts. From the impeccably designed title-cards to the outré performances, Flux Gourmet is an irresistible ode to the perils of creativity. [15]
