Club Zero
Jessica Hausner / AT, FR, GB, DK, 2023 / 110 min.
Chilling social satire by Jessica Hausner (Lourdes) on sects, belief and self-deception. Mia Wasikowska is the gruesome health teacher at a chic international boarding school that preaches the gospel of 'conscious eating', with horrific results.
Iron-willed Miss Novak takes up a position at a private school where she will teach conscious eating habits. Expectations are high, and only a select few pupils are allowed to take her lessons. This ‘conscious eating’ is supposed to be an ‘ecological diet’, but in fact is just a glorified form of anorexia. The pupils are encouraged to eat as little as possible, and finally nothing at all – a goal Novak’s impressionable teenagers work towards with alarming determination.
