I’m not immune to the charms of fine, over-the-top performances, exquisitely bombastic sound design, precise compositions that clash with the anarchic storytelling in a compelling way, pointedly exaggerated sexual and power relationship dynamics, or even fart jokes, but my favorite thing about this movie is the way the “culinary band” at its center gets out of bed every morning. ⏰⏰⏰

I’m a sucker for a film that really goes for it, and in that regard, Flux Gourmet doesn’t disappoint, especially with its over-the-top shock art scenes and after-dinner speeches with a feminist slant, and the general weirdness of it all and the surprising trajectory of every single conversation kept me interested, even when I didn’t quite know what the fuck was happening. ⏰⏰⏰
