A stateside trailer for Peter Strickland’s new film Flux Gourmet has debuted online. This is one odd film, but really good and definitely worth checking out, particularly if you’re a fan of the filmmaker.
The film premiered at this year’s Berlinale where it was met with largely positive reviews.
Here’s the synopsis:
A sonic collective who can’t decide on a name takes up a residency at an institute devoted to culinary and alimentary performance. The members Elle di Elle, Billy Rubin and Lamina Propria are caught up in their own power struggles, only their dysfunctional dynamic is furthermore exacerbated when they have to answer to the institute’s head, Jan Stevens. With the various rivalries unfolding, Stones, the Institute’s ‘dossierge’ has to privately endure increasingly fraught stomach problems whilst documenting the collective’s activities. Upon hearing of Stones’s visits to the gastroenterologist, Dr Glock, Elle coerces him into her performances in a desperate bid for authenticity. The reluctant Stones puts up with the collective’s plans to use his condition for their art whilst Jan Stevens goes to war with Elle over creative differences.
The film will release in the US (on demand and in cinemas) from 24th June.
Here’s the new trailer from IFC Films.
