Flux Gourmet - 2022 - 7/10

Stop! Many movie sites list this under the Horror genre. It is not.
This is a stinging, often hilarious satire on performance artists and culinary shows, with gory elements.
It is also a Peter Strickland film, arthouse territory with mannered dialogue that skitters across the dining table.
In short, Elle is the frontman, the food performer, with her two “Sonic Caterers”.
They are in residence at the (unnamed) Institute for a month, honing their art, despite administrative interference.
Many cast members from In Fabric (2019) are here again, and that film approximates Aickman or Ligotti, meaning strange. Not visceral gore.
With this director, I would suggest viewing Berberian Sound Studio (2012) first, which hews closer to horror.
Strickland is an auteur whose films are cult now, but will gain in stature over time.
